Does your space need a lift? Meet the power of the accent scatter

After being cooped up in our homes during the pandemic, a new era of home decorators has burgeoned. People have realised the sanctuary in having your own private space and making it your own. When you take up the task of redecorating a space, there’s a lot to think about.

Minimalist, or maximalist? Colourful, or clean? Farmhouse, boho, mid-century modern? There’s just so much to consider when creating your space, it can be overwhelming, especially if you don’t have the budget to redo your entire home. This is where the power of a simple scatter cushion is so underestimated.

Instead of forking out thousands on a complete redesign,  sometimes it’s better to start small. The best way to do this? Throw in a scatter cushion!

Scatters are a great way to build on the look of your space without doing too much. If you want a facelift for your bedroom but can’t afford to pull out the flooring and repaint the walls, start with some neutral bedding. Textured white without print is a great option! Then, once you’ve got a blank canvas to work on, let the scatters lead the way.

This is a great method to build on the look and colour palette of your room without going to the extremes. Once you’ve got your white bedding, visualise the colour pallet you’d like to build on in your room and then, the most fun part: find your perfect accent scatter to build from.
