Plaids & Decorative Cushions

Decorative cushions and throws are used to give a sofa a more defined character. They add colour, texture, and variation, and can change the way a piece of furniture is perceived. By combining different sizes, materials, and surfaces, it's possible to create a cohesive and thoughtful look without rearranging the room.

Textiles function as visual elements within a seating area. When placed with care, they create structure and make the furniture feel more complete. Cushions and throws are often used together but serve different purposes in the composition.

Decorative cushions in various sizes

The selection includes decorative cushions in a range of sizes and shapes. Common dimensions are 50x50 cm, but smaller and larger versions are also available. There are rectangular models, square cushions, and options with more generous proportions.

Mixing sizes is a way to create clear levels and depth on a sofa or bed. A low, wide cushion can be placed behind a slimmer, softer one. This adds both visual and functional dimension to the furniture.

Cushion covers in cotton, velvet and linen

Many cushions come with removable covers, making it easy to change colour or material according to need, season, or room updates. Cushion covers are available in various textiles, each with a unique texture and character.

Cotton is popular due to its durability and smooth surface. Linen offers a drier and more organic expression. Velvet is chosen when a denser fabric is desired, often combined with colours that benefit from depth and light absorption.

Several covers come in different colours and sizes within the same series. This makes it easy to maintain a cohesive palette while introducing variation in surface and form.

Colour and pattern

The colour choice affects how the cushions relate to the furniture. A cushion in a tone similar to the sofa’s fabric creates a calm impression. A contrasting colour highlights the cushion’s shape.

The range includes both solid-colour cushions and patterned designs. These include graphic motifs, woven textures, subtle stripes, or embroidered surfaces. The colour palette ranges from neutral tones to more expressive hues.

Combining solids and patterns creates balance. Many of the products are designed to be used together. Fritz Hansen and HAY offer simpler designs in colours that work tone-on-tone.

Throws in different materials

Throws are used alongside cushions or as a standalone textile layer on a sofa, armchair or bed. They can be folded, draped, or laid along an edge to add softness and structure.

Materials vary. Wool is commonly used, both in pure form and blended with mohair or alpaca. Cotton throws are suitable for lighter environments, such as warmer seasons or rooms with fewer furnishings.

Throws come in solid colours or with patterns. Some have smooth finishes. Others are brushed or woven with defined textures. There are models with fringes, finished edges or decorative stitching.

Textiles for multiple spaces

Cushions and throws are mainly used in living rooms and bedrooms, but also in lounges, offices or guest rooms. On a bench, they add volume. In an armchair, a cushion can adjust seat depth.

Using different textiles is an effective way to introduce variation without replacing larger furniture. A new throw or a few cushion covers is often enough to shift the colour palette or adapt to the season.

Textiles are often grouped together. Two cushions of the same size in different colours. A solid cushion against a patterned fabric. A wool throw with a lighter cotton or linen cushion. There’s no single way to place them, but the range at NO GA is curated to work in a variety of interior settings.

Selection and brands

The range includes decorative cushions and throws from brands such as Fritz Hansen, Verpan, and HAY. Each brand brings a distinct vision of the role of textiles in a space.

Fritz Hansen works with muted tones and textures. HAY combines materials and colours in a way that suits both public and private interiors.

Some products are sold as separate cushion covers, others as ready-filled cushions. Throws come in different sizes and weaves, depending on their intended use. All products are designed for longevity and easy integration with existing interiors.
