DECORATING WITH CUSHIONS – INSPIRATION, TIPS & STYLING

Cushions are one of the simplest details to work with when you want to update the feel of your home. With the right choice of color, material, and shape, cushions can create both harmony and contrast—while giving the room a more cozy and well-considered expression.

In this guide, we walk you through how to decorate with cushions in a stylish way, how to create balance between seasonal trends and timeless design, and how to combine new favorites with classic choices.

In the article, we cover:

1. How to build a timeless base with cushions

2. How color choices affect the overall room

3. How to combine patterns and materials

4. How to adapt cushions to rooms and furniture

5. How small changes with cushions can make a big impact

 

1. Build a timeless base with the right cushions

A well-considered cushion base makes it easy to change your home over time. By choosing cushions in neutral colors and classic materials, you create a stable foundation that works all year round. These cushions can remain season after season and be complemented with new expressions whenever you want to update the feel.

Here, high-quality classic cushions are a safe choice for both the sofa and the bed. A timeless base makes it easy to build further with color, pattern, and texture without the overall look feeling cluttered.

2. Use color to set the tone of the room

Color is one of the most effective tools when decorating with cushions. This year, we see blue tones taking center stage again—colors that create calm, space, and a harmonious expression, perfect for both spring and summer. At the same time, warmer shades provide a soft contrast and contribute to a more vibrant impression.

By keeping the color palette cohesive, even when mixing different hues, you create a balanced and deliberate result that feels both modern and timeless.

 

 3. Mix patterns and materials for a vibrant expression

Combining patterned and solid-colored cushions is an effective way to create depth in your interior. Feel free to vary textures like linen, cotton, and wool to give the room more character.

Patterns in different colors and shades add personality and make the sofa or bed feel more inviting, while a well-considered mix keeps the overall look calm and harmonious.

4. Adapt the cushions to the room and furniture

The number of cushions you choose and how they are placed should be adapted to the size of the room and the shape of the furniture. A larger sofa can handle several cushions in varying sizes, while an armchair or smaller sofa often benefits from a more pared-back expression.

In the bedroom, cushions can be used to create a hotel-like feel through layering, while cushions in the living room often serve as a way to tie the room's colors and materials together.

 

 

5. Small changes that make a big impact

Swapping out cushion covers or adding a few new cushions is a simple way to change a room without major interventions. This makes cushions one of the most flexible interior design choices—perfect for those who want to update their home according to the season or their mood.

By combining seasonal newcomers with timeless classics, you create a home that feels vibrant yet sustainable.

When you decorate with cushions, quality, material, and expression are decisive for the final result. By combining new seasonal favorites with timeless choices, you create a home that feels both vibrant and long-lasting. At Stockton, you will find a carefully curated selection of cushions from Artwood, known for their natural materials, earthy colors, and relaxed elegance, as well as classic cushions from Eichholtz, where sophisticated design meets high quality. Together, they give you the opportunity to create a personal and well-considered interior where the cushions serve equally well as style statements and complementary details—season after season.

Bold & Iconic – Eichholtz höst- och vinterkollektion 2026

Bold & Iconic – Eichholtz höst- och vinterkollektion 2026

En ny definition av exklusiv inredning Ikonisk design handlar aldrig om att följa trender, utan om att våga gå sin egen väg. Det börjar med modiga beslut – när traditionella uttryck utmanas, oväntade silhuetter tar form och nya perspektiv får utrymme i våra hem. Med lanseringen av Bold & Iconic i september 2026 presenterar Eichholtz en höst- och vinterkollektion där exklusiv inredning får ett mer uttrycksfullt och personligt formspråk. Kollektionen förenar djärva designval med genomtänkta materialkombinationer och erbjuder allt från skulpturala möbler och dekorativ belysning till inredningsdetaljer med stark karaktär. Kontraster, material och uttrycksfull design I centrum för den nya kollektionen står samspelet mellan kontraster och texturer. Eichholtz kombinerar polerade metaller, handbearbetad sten, taktila textilier och varma träslag för att skapa möbler och inredningsföremål som fångar uppmärksamheten och samtidigt känns tidlösa. Belysningen får en framträdande roll med design som förenar arkitektoniska former och dekorativa detaljer. Takkronan Gwendolyn är ett av kollektionens mest uttrycksfulla inslag. Med en kombination av rökfärgade och klara glasprismor skapas ett varmt ljusspel som framhävs av detaljer i antik mässing. För ett mer geometriskt uttryck presenterar Eichholtz takkronan Georgette, vars sammanflätade mönster hämtar inspiration från en terrakottafris från 1000-talet.   Skulpturala möbler med karaktär Samspelet mellan form och material återkommer även i kollektionens möbler. Soffborden Urbino och sidobordet Brinton visar hur kontrasterande material kan skapa ett spännande visuellt uttryck. Ljusbehandlad ek, natursten och mörka ytbehandlingar möts i möbler som balanserar funktion med ett närmast konstnärligt formspråk. Samtidigt bidrar mjuka, skulpturala silhuetter till en mer ombonad känsla. Fåtöljen Colette och möblerna i Marenzo-serien kombinerar generös komfort med taktila material och genomarbetade detaljer. Resultatet är en kollektion där varje möbel har sin egen identitet, samtidigt som helheten präglas av en sofistikerad balans mellan det uttrycksfulla och det avskalade. The Art of Living – design inspirerad av historien En av säsongens mest framträdande samarbeten är The Art of Living, det fjärde kapitlet i Eichholtz samarbete med The Metropolitan Museum of Art i New York. Kollektionen hämtar inspiration från över 5 000 år av konst, kultur och kreativitet och omtolkar historiska föremål till samtida möbler och inredningsdetaljer. Soffbordet Matthias inspireras av rikt dekorerade brittiska sidobord från 1700-talet. Handkarvad, förgylld furu kombineras med en modern skiva i scagliola, ett dekorativt material som efterliknar natursten. Sidobordet Edgar hämtar i sin tur inspiration från amerikanskt hantverk och den så kallade Empire-stilen som präglade Philadelphia under 1800-talet. Matbordet Papyrus för tankarna till det antika Egypten, där botaniska kapitäl från Amontemplet har inspirerat bordets skulpturala underrede. Genom att förena historiska referenser med modern design skapar Eichholtz möbler som berättar en historia och tillför ett personligt uttryck till hemmet. Exklusiv design för hemmets alla miljöer Eichholtz fortsätter att utveckla sitt sortiment med möbler och inredningsdetaljer som passar både privata hem och offentliga miljöer. I kollektionen återfinns eleganta detaljer för servering och sociala tillfällen, däribland champagnekylaren Prestige XXL i vintage mässing och exklusiva spelset i mocka. Barstolen Beale är ytterligare ett exempel på hur Eichholtz kombinerar klassiska material och genomtänkt design för att skapa möbler som passar lika väl i hemmets bar som i restaurang- och hotellmiljöer. Endless Summer – exklusiv utomhusdesign Även utomhusmiljöerna får ta plats i den nya säsongens sortiment. Med Endless Summer presenterar Eichholtz utemöbler som kombinerar exklusiva material med hållbar design för livet utomhus. Serierna Marenzo och Riverton kännetecknas av vädertålig teak och handflätad konstrotting, material som förenar naturlig karaktär med praktiska egenskaper. Kollektionen är skapad för att sudda ut gränsen mellan inne och ute och förlänga känslan av ett genomtänkt hem till terrasser, uteplatser och andra sociala utomhusmiljöer. Upptäck Bold & Iconic hos Stockton Med Bold & Iconic fortsätter Eichholtz att utforska gränsen mellan konst, design och funktion. Höst- och vinterkollektionen 2026 präglas av modiga silhuetter, exklusiva material och ett formspråk som är skapat för att bestå. Upptäck Eichholtz Bold & Iconic hos Stockton och låt säsongens nyheter inspirera till ett mer personligt och uttrycksfullt hem.

Mappa burl – träslaget som sätter tonen för höstens inredning

Maple burl – the wood species that sets the tone for autumn interiors

There are materials that act as a discreet background in a room – and then there are materials that become part of the expression. Light brown mappa burl veneer definitely belongs to the latter category. With its vivid grain pattern, warm brown tones, and almost marbled appearance, burl wood has become an exciting feature in today's interior design. We see the material on everything from coffee tables and dining tables to bookshelves, chairs, and smaller pieces of furniture – often combined with clean, modern shapes. What is mappa burl? Mappa burl is characterized by its naturally irregular and decorative grain pattern. Unlike traditional wood veneer, where the grain often follows a clearer direction, burl creates a more organic expression with swirls, shifts, and variations across the surface. When the material is used as veneer, the characteristic wood surface can be combined with modern and more minimalist furniture shapes. The result is a fine balance between an expressive natural material and contemporary design. Light brown mappa burl – warm, vivid, and elegant The light brown variant gives the material a softer expression. Shades of beige, caramel, and warm brown meet in a surface that takes on different character depending on how the light hits it. The color palette also makes light brown mappa burl relatively easy to combine with other materials. Cream-colored textiles, natural stone, glass, and warm metals enhance the soft feel, while darker wood species and black details create more contrast. Eichholtz elevates mappa burl A brand that has truly embraced the expression of the material is Eichholtz. In their assortment, light brown mappa burl veneer appears on several different types of furniture, making it possible to incorporate the material into the home in various ways. For those who want to let the material become a clear focal point, there is the Quinton coffee table 3-set, while the Mayfair drinks trolley shows how burl can also be used on a smaller piece of furniture and become a decorative detail in the room. In the dining room, the material reappears in both the Percy dining chair and the Kingsgrove dining table. For larger storage and statement furniture, there is the Quinton bookshelf, while the Aradia armchair offers another way to incorporate the warm wood expression. Together, the furniture pieces show how the same material can return through several parts of the home without the expression needing to be uniform or overly matched. Eichholtz on the material For Eichholtz, it is the natural variations of the mappa burl veneer that make the material so interesting. The vivid grain gives each piece of furniture an organic and expressive look, while the warm tones create a softer and more harmonious impression. In several of Eichholtz's furniture pieces, mappa burl is also combined with soft, neutral textiles – including the Loki Natural upholstery. The contrast between the detailed wood and the calm textile creates the balance between structure, warmth, and sophisticated design that characterizes many of Eichholtz's latest furniture pieces. It is also a combination that fits very well into autumn interior design, where warm wood species, tactile surfaces, and natural tones are given increasing space. Why are we seeing so much burl wood right now? After several years where light and relatively uniform wood species have characterized many Scandinavian homes, we are seeing a greater interest in wood with more character. Grain, structure, and natural variations are welcomed to be visible and become an active part of the design. Here, burl wood fits in well. The decorative surface of the material means that even a piece of furniture with a simple silhouette can have a distinct expression. At the same time, the warm brown tones fit into the broader movement towards more cozy and personal interiors. This does not mean burl everywhere, however. On the contrary, the material is often at its finest when one or a few selected pieces of furniture are allowed to provide the contrast.   How to decorate with mappa burl In the living room, a coffee table in mappa burl can be combined with a sofa in cream, beige, or bouclé. The vibrant wood creates contrast against the calmer textiles without disrupting the color palette. In the dining room, a dining table or a couple of chairs can introduce the material in a more prominent way. Even a bookshelf, drinks trolley, or armchair can serve as an individual statement in an otherwise understated interior. Since the wood surface already has a lot of character, not much else is needed around it. Clean lines, calm textiles, and carefully selected details allow the pattern to come into its own. A material to keep an eye on Light brown mappa burl veneer encompasses much of what we find exciting in interior design right now: warmer brown shades, expressive natural materials, and furniture that is allowed to contribute personality. At Stockton, you will find several pieces of furniture from Eichholtz where the characteristic mappa burl veneer is allowed to take center stage – from smaller accent furniture to dining tables, seating, and storage. Discover Eichholtz at Stockton and let one of autumn's most expressive wood species take its place in your home.

Artwood Autumn / Winter 2026 – Konsten att skapa modern elegans

Artwood Autumn / Winter 2026 – The Art of Creating Modern Elegance

A new season is taking shape at Artwood. In Autumn / Winter 2026, the brand’s characteristic feel for timeless materials and solid craftsmanship meets a more modern and sophisticated design language. Deep earthy tones, tactile surfaces, and elegant contrasts set the tone for a collection where every detail contributes to the whole. The result is warm and personal environments where comfort, quality, and design are given equal importance.   A color palette for autumn The autumn color scheme moves toward the deeper and more cozy. Brown and beige tones meet darker shades and natural materials to create rooms with warmth and depth. Instead of sharp color contrasts, the focus is on nuances, textures, and materials that together build a harmonious whole. This provides a timeless base that is easy to combine with both existing furniture and new details. Materials take center stage Material choices have long been an important part of Artwood’s identity, and the autumn and winter collection 2026 is no exception. Wood with clear structure, soft textiles, stone, metal, and other tactile materials meet in a well-considered mix. The combination of soft and hard surfaces creates contrasts that bring more life to the interior, while the earthy color palette holds the expression together. It is precisely the interplay between materials that gives the collection its character—natural and relaxed, yet elegant at the same time. Comfort takes its place During autumn, life moves back indoors and the home once again becomes the place where we spend more and more time. This is also evident in Artwood’s new collection. Generous sofas, armchairs, and other seating invite a more relaxed interior where comfort doesn’t mean compromising on design. Soft textiles and generous proportions are balanced by clean lines and thoughtful details. The result is furniture created to be used—and to continue feeling just as natural in the home over time. The details that create the whole A well-considered home is rarely built around a single piece of furniture. It is the combination of different shapes, heights, materials, and details that creates the finished feeling. In Artwood Autumn / Winter 2026, smaller furniture, lighting, and decorative details are therefore given an equally important role. Side tables, lamps, textiles, and objects become tools to create layers and give the room a more personal character. By letting a few carefully selected details take center stage, it is possible to change the feel of a room without redoing the entire interior. Timeless meets modern Perhaps the most distinct feature of Artwood’s autumn collection 2026 is the balance between the classic and the contemporary. The brand’s familiar feel for natural materials and solid quality remains, but meets cleaner silhouettes, sophisticated color combinations, and a more modern expression. This makes the collection easy to combine with different interior styles—from classic and rustic environments to more minimalist and modern homes. Artwood Autumn / Winter 2026 at Stockton Artwood Autumn / Winter 2026 is a collection for a new season, but with a design language created for considerably longer than that. Natural materials, earthy tones, and generous comfort meet in furniture and decor where quality and details take center stage. At Stockton, you will find the new autumn and winter collection from Artwood along with several of the brand’s timeless classics. Discover Artwood Autumn / Winter 2026 and let a new season take its place in your home.
