As a matter of fact, one of the easiest things that can make a massive difference is a simple cushion.Home decoration and designs are the major ingredients that help to transform a mere house or a living space into a home or even into whatever you want it to be, it is what helps to make any space come alive and feel alive.

Cushions or throw pillows are one home accessory that can completely transform a space with very little effort. The great thing about this accessory is that they come in a very wide variety of shapes, sizes, and designs. This means that you can play around as much as you want with cushions - be it up, down or even still in the same line as the previous design or theme.

Their designs are also very vast and range from the normal simple pillow designs to having tassels and even pipe edges. These décor accessories serve two major purposes; aesthetics and functionality. While they are mainly used for aesthetic purposes and are usually bought with this purpose in mind, many of their functional purposes include head and neck support, back support and even seat support. Many throw pillows or cushions come with covers that can be removed and changed, and even have the inserts changed if they become flat or contain properties that trigger allergies.

Having cushions around a home is more or less a norm, however, using them as a means of changing the elements of a room is not something that a lot of people take note of. Here are different ways that a simple cushion or throw pillow can dramatically transform the look and feel of a room:

Colors

This is perhaps the most notable transformation that can be seen from using throw pillows or cushions. In many home designs, the color palettes are kept simple and monotonous and as much as this gives a clean chic look to any space, it can get tiring with time and just become bland. A simple swap or even an addition of one or two pieces of brightly colored cushions can take away that boring feel in a room and make it feel livelier. Having a plain and monotonous space is the best way to go crazy when playing around with cushions. You can mix up different complimenting colors, patterns and even shapes to give you a more creative display in your home.

Sentiments

How a room feels tends to linger with people and influence how they behave or act in that space. This is why home decor is not only centered on how the room looks but also how it feels and how it makes people feel. The aura and feel of a room can be changed with a simple cushion. The display of patterns and colors can greatly help ease the seriousness of the design of a room and help to give it a more cozy and comfortable look and feel.

A simple change of cushion covers from bright and playful to tasteful and classy can also help to transform a room and give it a more luxurious feel. This versatility that cushions bring about in the sentiment of a room can be very helpful if your home is usually used as a venue for different events. For instance, if you have a playdate for the kids on Friday and a dinner date with friends on Saturday, rather than bother yourself with redoing the entire home, simply changing the type of covers on your cushions can help to take your home from playful and safe to tasteful and classy.

Functionality

Apart from the obvious aesthetic function, cushions are known to have other different functions many of which are support functions. Different sizes of cushions can be used as support systems for the neck, the head, and the back when sitting. Also, cushions can be used as seating aids and even as actual seats. In a situation where you have more of a crowd than your furniture can handle in your home, cushions can double as seats for many people. This is also very useful during children’s playdates. You do not want a situation where kids get your sofa covered in all manner of goo and dirt. It is much easier to let this mess take place on cushions that can simply have their covers removed, washed and replaced.

It is a home décor accessory that keeps on giving and can be used in all living spaces in a home.
