There is nothing like the Christmas season to give us all a deadline! Whether it is finishing off those impending house jobs which have rolled over a bit too long, or the fact that you have invited friends and family over to celebrate Christmas with you in your beautiful home. Now, your main aim is to get those outstanding tasks ticked off and have your home looking as perfect as possible, in time for the Christmas season.

Where to start with this Christmas season preparations

1. Make a list – By writing down what needs finishing and then prioritising the jobs, will help you to be clear as to what is a necessity and what can wait if you run out of time.
2. De-clutter – Creating more space not only makes rooms look larger but also makes space for Christmas features, decorations and guests. Be methodical in what you can store and what can go to the local charity shop or refuse centre.
3. Clean down – Giving the house a good clean especially in those hard-to-reach areas, will completely refresh the property and help you to think clearer too. Don’t forget those high up areas where cobwebs can catch you out or those low areas which can gather dust. By cleaning the room thoroughly it also enables you to assess the paintwork or breakages which may need further attention.
4. Touch up the paint work – Get your brush out and give a quick touch up to those walls or woodwork which are looking sorry for themselves. Especially focus on areas where young hands or pets might have touched the walls and left grubby marks. You’ll be amazed at how quickly touching up the paintwork will refresh the room and have it looking as good as new again.
5. Consider finishing touches – If the cushions, throws, bedspreads, roman blinds, or lighting are looking a bit tired then maybe it’s time for some re-investment. By adding a few new finishing touches or enhancing your colour scheme will not only completely transform the room but will provide a beautiful place for warmth and relaxation, which you and your guests can admire.

Here at Cush Cush, our team provide outstanding experience when it comes to applying the finishing touches! If you would like to enhance your rooms with cushions, throws, bedspreads, or roman blinds, we provide a wonderful range of colours and fabrics to suit all tastes. To find out more, please contact us or see our soft furnishings website for more details.

Designed in a luxurious fabric from our beautiful range or by using your own fabric, our hand-made Roman Blinds not only dress windows elegantly but also create an ideal thermal barrier between cold windows and the warmth of a room. This means that throughout the home, spaces feel cosy and less draftee.

Hand-made Throws – Secondly our beautiful throws and bedspreads add elegance to beds of all sizes, from single, to double, king-size, and super king-size.

So, with the kids and the grand kids all off back to school, this month we are taking some time out to focus on ourselves and our own indulgences – After all why not, we deserve it! If your master bedroom is looking tired and in urgent need of a revamp, to bring your special place back to life and create a sanctuary for some ‘me time’, then Cush Cush are here to provide interior inspiration.

Creating a master bedroom sanctuary

Clear out the old – The best place to start, is by having a good clear out, of any old shoes, clothing and cosmetics which are taking up extra space. By de-cluttering draws and wardrobes, you will clearly be able to review the room and consider introducing new pieces of furniture that work well in your master bedroom.

Choosing a colour scheme – Colour schemes can begin from a variety of examples, such as a design on wallpaper, curtains or a roman blind, feature cushions, or a king size quilted bedspread. By picking out a couple of the colours in the print and then colour matching with paintwork, you can effortlessly tie in the style and create a flow throughout the room decor. Be bold with bright colours, tranquil with calm or mix it up with a bit of both. Remember that there are many different looks and trends to draw on and that it really depends on individual style and taste as to what you go for. Also, consider the rest of the interior design within the property and try to keep a flow throughout.

Make the bed a statement feature – No master bedroom is complete without a master bed! Go for something that is comfortable but that fits well within the room by leaving space to walk around. The master bed is no doubt the centre piece so embellish it accordingly. Choose a statement headboard, a custom-made quilt made in your favourite fabric by Cush Cush and complete the look with some feature cushions in contrasting or complimentary colours.

For more information on quilted bedspreads please contact us at Cush Cush.

This June 2022, Cush Cush are celebrating the jubilee in true British royal style and to commemorate the occasion we thought that we would share our ideas on designing a bedroom which is fit for royalty.

Achieving royal style takes some time and consideration, but get it right and you will create a bedroom interior which is bold and a space that you will want to spend as much time as possible in.

Creating a royal style bedroom

1. Be bold with colour – Whether you choose bright, muted or heritage colours, paint all the walls and add contrasting coloured furniture. To finish the look, add gold accents to highlight features. These can be used on a light pendant, switches or door handles.
2. Add style and opulence – The royal style is all about grandeur. Swag curtains with accentuated tie backs, dramatic lamps and oversize vase designs will emphasize the lavish look which you are aiming to achieve.
3. A headboard and bed are the main features – They need to take centre stage! It doesn’t say royal style unless the headboard and the bed are extra-large, with plenty of space to walk around. Design a headboard as a statement piece which is a ‘work of art’ and add a bed which immediately magnifies luxury.
4. Complete with a kingsize custom quilted bedspread – At Cush Cush, we love creating quilts which ooze centre stage! Choose a fabric which will contrast or compliment the headboard. The luxury quilted throw will drape over the bed flawlessly to complete your favourite royal style interior design.

To find out more, please see our website information on custom made quilts and throws available through Cush Cush. Choose from our beautiful range of high-quality fabric designs which are available to order as fabric samples. Or why not supply your own? We regularly make luxury king-size quilted bedspreads using independently supplied fabrics by customers. To quote for this, all we need is the bed size measurements, which you can find through our how to measure website page.

Finally, if you would like to complete the look with matching or contrasting, roman blinds, and accent cushions, we will bring the whole royal style together to fulfil your vision. Please get in touch for further details.

With the Easter holidays finally here, many of us are either considering enjoying spending time with family or focusing on a spot of DIY, or a bit of both!

If you are hoping to host family visits throughout this year’s weekends and holidays, then creating a guest bedroom which feels lovely when your visitors are staying with you will give everyone that nice warm feeling. After all, there’s nothing better than making people feel right at home, in a place that feels special and comfortable to be in.

So, this month Cush Cush are focusing on improving the look of your guest bedroom by offering some quick tips on how to improve the style.

Guest bedroom interior improvements

1. Firstly, clear out the space – Your guests will immediately feel revived if they enter an open and clear / uncluttered room. If you’ve been using the room as back up storage for your own things, then it’s time to have a clear out or create some clever storage which will hide your possessions. Remember that they will also be coming with their own bags and so will need some space to store or hang clothes, etc.
2. Clean the room from top to bottom – Pay particular attention to the higher corners of the room, lower woodwork and behind furniture for that extra deep clean.
3. Touch up the paintwork – If you are happy with the décor colour of the room but some marks just won’t remove, then the walls and woodwork may just need a quick spot paint, especially around doorways, light switches, and skirting board.
4. Revive with a new colour scheme – Without decorating a room, you can quickly revive the space with accent colours through vibrant bedding, cushions, prints and ornaments. This will give the room an immediately lift to the eye.
5. Add a king-size bedspread and matching roman blinds – With the bed at centre stage and delightful views out of the window, creating feature pieces by using stunning fabrics can truly set off a guest bedroom. Don’t forget, Cush Cush supply a beautiful range of fabrics, or you can send us your own fabric. Choose a quilting pattern and we’ll create a quilted bedspread in any size and complimentary roman blinds to match.

Finally, we guarantee that by bringing all of the interior elements together you will certainly create a harmonious guest bedroom design which you will be proud of and that everyone will love to stay in!

Delightfully spring is finally here! After the darker winter months, the daylight hours are getting longer, and the floral colour is re-emerging outside.

Bringing the outside in doors, doesn’t have to be difficult and by giving our bedrooms a cosmetic refresh allows us to really embrace the new spring season and even improve our wellbeing too.

You don’t have to completely re-paint and carpet a bedroom to apply a cosmetic refresh. Instead, just a few simple techniques can really transform the room.

Cosmetic refresh steps to transforming a bedroom

1. Start with a good spring clean – Clean out the clutter including old clothes and belongings which you just don’t use anymore, to create a nice open and organised space.
2. Think about the layout of the room – Move or remove furniture to make the room feel larger. Does the current storage work for the room?
3. Review the colour scheme – What colours would you like to keep and where would you like to replace or enhance the palette. Choose a simple colour palette which picks out two or three subtle tones and then add some pizzazz with a dash of a single vibrant colour.
4. Consider your soft furnishings – Changing soft furnishings provides the simplest option in upgrading a bedroom. With your chosen colour palette, replace your blind with an elegant roman blind or add a customer made king size quilted bedspread in your favourite choice of your fabric, all made by Cush Cush.
5. Uplift with accessories – Finally add some accessories to finish the look. Use contrasting fabrics for cushions made by Cush Cush and add vases, ornaments, and picture canvases to add visual interest to the room.

To find out more about soft furnishing services available through Cush Cush, please get in touch. We provide bespoke custom quilted bedspreads and throws for beds of all sizes, including large king size, super king size and extra-large sizes. Whilst our roman blinds are individually manufactured to fit a variety of window sizes, made with a fabric of your choice, or you are welcome to request fabric colour samples through our website.

Getting a comfy sleep is so good for us! It allows the body and mind, time to recharge. It is an essential function, according to sleepfoundation.org. Sleep allows us to remain healthy and to hold off diseases. It allows our brains to function clearly, providing the ability to concentrate and process memory.

To get a comfy sleep it is important to allow the body time to relax. Low lighting and a beautifully designed interior, which you are contented to sleep in are good starting points.

Choose colours which are warming or calming and enhance with signature pieces which complement the room and feel good to look at and admire. Get clever with the storage to hide away the clutter and surround yourself in a tidy space which allows your mind to feel free and organised.

Furthermore, choosing the right bed is essential to a comfy sleep. Everyone is unique as to what type of mattress they prefer to sleep on. Whilst some like a firm bed, others go for softer support which can sculpt around their sleeping posture. Bed companies now offer excellent technology to test your sleeping position and your most favourable level of support, so it’s worth trying a few brand varieties to find a mattress which suits you best.

A stylish throw for the ultimate comfy sleep

Lastly, why not top your bed off with a stylish throw made by Cush Cush? We design elegant, quilted throws for beds of all sizes including Super King Size, King Size, Double and Single. All quilted throws are made using high quality wadding and are created in a pattern of your choice. Finally, please supply us with your favourite fabric or choose a fabric through our delightful range of fabrics, available in our online shop. For further details please contact us with your bed size and fabric requirements or see our gallery for more quilts and throws bedspread ideas.

A new year means new plans for our home design and what better place to start with, than a bedroom interior project! If your bedroom is desiring a complete makeover refresh for 2022, then over the next few weeks, it’s time to start planning your bedroom interior project ideas.

When designing a bedroom interior project, the main aspect to remember is to reflect on the room as a sanctuary. The bedroom is a place for calm and relaxation, for cosying up under the covers and for getting a good night’s sleep. To create this retreat, its best to consider soft colours (nothing too vivid), such as greens or blues which will create a feeling of calm, or alternatively, you can apply warmth by choosing creamy whites and neutral, earthy palettes. To create contrast and interest, both palettes also work really well together too, so if you’re looking to brighten things up a little, mix up the colour palette by using a cool colour on the walls with a warm shade for accents or reverse the other way around.

Finding inspiration for a bedroom interior project

Inspiration for a bedroom interior project can be found in many forms and doesn’t always start with a paint colour. It could be a lampshade design that you really like or a fabric sample that you just can’t wait to have made into a roman blind or a king size quilted bedspread, by Cush Cush.

On finding your starting point, the next best method is to order some tester paints and wallpaper samples to look at them within the room and next to your favourite piece of inspiration. Depending on the light coming into the room, depends on how the colour on the walls will display, so it’s good to view the colour, rather than under the lights of a shop or from a picture on the internet.

By thinking about building up the design of the room in layers of colour, pattern, and texture, will soon create a bedroom design that you will enjoy for many years to come.

Here at Cush Cush, we offer a beautiful range of Quilts, Throws, bedspreads and Roman Blinds, all of which are handmade here in the UK. Furthermore, you can either supply to us your own fabric or choose from our own Cush Cush fabric range.
