Fancy a cushion from the Meg Matthew’s collection?

Last month I was at Dwell’s flagship shop in Tottenham Court Road for the launch of Meg Matthews’s new collection and I loved it; give me cushions and I am in heaven. 

The evening was extremely successful with many of Meg’s friends coming to admire and offer their support like actress Tamzin Outhwaite, designer Sadie Frost, presenter Lisa Maxwell and actress Sarah Barrand. 

I couldn’t have wished for a better partnership, Dwell’s furniture is funky, contemporary yet affordable and Meg’s bed linen is divine and stylish. 

With a reputation as the hard-partying rock chick of the Nineties, it might came as something of a surprise to hear that Meg Matthews is now designing soft furnishings for high street home store Dwell and you can also find her fabulous scarves collection at Liberty’s.

From the ribbon-trimmed duvet covers to the Russian dolls, the regal cushions emblazoned with crowns and the skull motif cushion’s this exciting collection has a fabulous rock chic vibe; it says goodbye winter, hello summer.

If you love them as much as I do you then this is for you, Dwell kindly is giving away a Meg Matthew’s cushion to three of my UK readers.

Cushions: My Top Must-haves in Home Accessories - (part2)

There are virtually no limits to the variety of colours fabrics, shapes and sizes that can be used to create cushions. So don't be afraid to mix and match different coloured cushions or pick a single colour and vary the cushions design.

Colours are an individual taste and make a statement so many people avoid the bold and opt for the bland. They don’t need to (if you want more on this subject go to www.aguilarinteriors.com). Colours break down into warm such as red, yellow and orange, or cool such as blue, grey and green. Warm colours are inviting and stimulating while cool colours tend to be more soothing and quieting.

Red - Red cushions are striking, needless to say I have them and they go beautifully with my lovely Chinese red cabinets. Use a single one or a collection of red cushions to add colour and spice up your room. Red cushions will certainly add a touch of bold and wow factor to your home.

Yellow -Add a fresh stylish look to your room. Vibrant, saturated colours distinguish this cushion as a bold, spirited choice for your rooms.

Orange -Choosing bold, vibrant orange cushions will add a statement to your room. You can add a single orange cushion with whites or add to other bold coloured cushions. What a venturesome choice for your room.

 

Pink – Pink cushions are fun, fresh and they are not as girly as you might think. Create a mix and match set with different shades and patterns to give a more contemporary look. A vibrant fuchsia will add energy to your living room while pink in a bedroom will add romance and glamour.

 

 

Purple - Add a colourful look to your home with bold purple cushions. It will certainly add character to your room while giving it a luxurious feel.

 
 

Green - Lime green cushions will add a fresh splash of colour to your room. For a contemporary look choose dark green and olive green cushions.

Blue - Blue cushions are eye catching! Aqua blue cushions will add a fresh splash of colour to any room. While blue cushions will provide a contemporary look.

 

Brown - Brown cushions will add an element of urban style to your room while accentuating your furniture.

Black - Black cushions are bold, stylish and sophisticated. Use a single black cushion or collection of black cushions to add elegance to any room.

 

White -Use a single white cushion with colours or decorate with a collection of white cushions to add a stylish and dramatic look to any room.

 

Metallic -Stunning silks are an exquisite, sensual and soft fabric. Metallic cushions in contemporary designs will make an eye-catching statement piece and will give a vivid feeling of drama in any room.

Grey- Grey cushions are refined and elegant. If you are looking for a relaxing ambience then these are perfect.

 

With so many designs available in the market, it is very easy to find a cushion that appeal to your personal style and taste.

You will find that cushions are a very economic way of adding impact into your room. So if you buy them either in a chain store, online or even go for a designer cushion, it is really up to you how much you spend.

After all, a cushion is not a huge investment and if you tire of it, you can always replace it. So go on and have fun decorating with cushions!
