Choosing printed cushion covers

A cushion cover changes a room faster than almost anything else, so start with the colours already in your space and add one pattern. Printed cushion covers in florals suit plain sofas, and geometric prints sit well with patterned rugs. Tikauo makes most of the range here, designed in London and handmade in India, with covers in 100% recycled cotton and many printed by hand with AZO-free dyes. We checked each brand for how its covers are made and who makes them.

Floral and hand-printed designs

Tikauo's floral cushion covers include the Bahar, Gulzar, Firdos, Shalimar and Zahra designs, with Firdos drawing on Mughal gardens, and its Mirage, Wabi Sabi and Ikigai covers use simpler marks and dots. Colours run through herb, charcoal, blue, yellow and pink, so a few covers mix easily. So Just Shop sells a Morse code block print cushion, kilim cushion covers and a feather print cover. Most covers measure 45 x 45 cm and come without an insert, and Tikauo also sells cushion inserts.

Seat pads for chairs and benches

Seat pads soften wooden dining chairs, kitchen stools and benches. Tikauo makes seat pads in recycled cotton in batik, geometric and floral prints, at about 43 x 43 cm. Lay two side by side on a bench, or use one on a floor seat. Shake seat pads out each week to keep the filling even. For a dining table, pick one print for the seat pads and a second, quieter print for cushions on a nearby bench or window seat, so the room feels joined up without matching exactly.

Cotton cushion covers care

Cotton cushion covers are easy to look after, but hand-printed dyes need a gentle wash. Check the care label on each piece, wash covers inside out at a low temperature and dry them flat out of direct sun. Ironing on the reverse keeps printed cushion covers looking sharp. Bedding has throws and blankets, Wall Art & Prints has prints, Kitchen Linen has tea towels and table linen, and How to bring more hygge into your life has ideas for a cosy home.
