Depending on the style chosen, whether it is classic or modern, the right style can be found for every environment, to meet the personal tastes of those who live there.

Furnishing the outside

With the arrival of summer, more time is spent outdoors and, for the luckiest ones who have gardens or terraces at their disposal, it is always a pleasure to dedicate time to setting them up.

An original idea for the outdoors are the cushions from the Paisley collection , a particular and highly effective alternative line.

Furnish the interior

The cushions can be used to furnish both the living room and the bedroom. For the sofa, we recommend opting for decorative cushions with harmonious shapes and arranging everything symmetrically, for example by placing a seat cushion or a pair at each end, near the armrests. The Ethnic collection is an original idea to give the sofa an extravagant and colorful touch. For the bed, it is common practice to place two or three pillows, even of various sizes, after the normal pillows for sleeping. This will create a dynamic bed, made of different overlaps and geometric shapes, which will make everything modern and elegant. To maintain a refined style, you can opt for the classic white hand-embroidered decorative pillowcases. The important thing is not to overdo it: inserting too many cushions could make the room appear messy or compromise the effective comfort of the bed and sofa.

Choice of colors

For the choice of colors it is important to take into consideration the context of insertion. Place yourself in the room to be furnished and observe the colors used for the walls, floor and sofa; the choice of colors and style will then be very clear to you. In case you have a very dark or gloomy environment, the best choice is to rely on contrast and opt to furnish with white cushions or in any case in a light shade. If you have a totally neutral environment, it is better to opt for colors that match the furnishings in gradation, without creating bright contrasts of patterns and shades. To obtain a more original environment, you could opt for a pattern that recalls the colors of the furnishings around. Play with the dozens of patterns available to always create new and original combinations.
