Modern Cushion Covers & Decorative Cushions

Few home decor decisions deliver as much visual impact per square foot as a well-chosen cushion. A single set of premium cushion covers can shift the mood of a living room, warm up a bedroom, or transform a plain sofa into the focal point of a space. At The Living Influence, every piece selected for its material integrity, design specificity, and ability to layer beautifully with the interiors our customers are building.

The collection brings together two of India's most distinctive cushion designers and craft-led brands: Petrichor, known for their appliqué and embroidery-based cushions that combine Indian textile craft with bold contemporary design; and HummingHaus, whose handwoven cotton cushion covers carry the warmth and tactility of traditional Indian weaving into modern living spaces. Together, they offer a range that spans graphic monochrome statements, richly textured velvet appliqué, artisanal hand-weaves, and vibrant prints, covering every interior aesthetic from spare and minimal to layered and bohemian.

What Are Designer Cushion Covers?

Decorative cushions are cushions chosen as much for how they look as for how they feel. They add colour, pattern and texture to a sofa, bed or armchair, and they are the easiest soft furnishing to change with the seasons or your mood. A good decorative cushion holds its shape, has a cleanly stitched cover with a hidden zip, and uses a fabric that still looks good after months of everyday use. Many of the cushions in this collection, including all of Petrichor's, come with hospitality-grade, shape-retaining fillers, the kind used in hotels, so they stay plump instead of slowly going flat.

Petrichor — Appliqué and Embroidery Cushions with a Design Vocabulary

Petrichor is one of the most distinctive voices in the Indian premium cushion space. Their work is defined by a commitment to appliqué, a textile technique in which fabric shapes are cut and applied onto a base fabric to create layered, dimensional patterns. The Monolyth appliqué cushion is a good example, with its blocky, architectural shapes at 20 by 20 inches.

Petrichor's cushions are made to a hospitality specification, with shape-retaining vacuum-packed microfibre fillers and zip closures, making them as durable as they are visually striking.

The Africana Collection — Bold Monochrome with Artisanal Craft

The Africana Collection is one of Petrichor's most arresting ranges — a limited-edition series of six distinct designs built around a monochromatic black and ivory palette and a bold, graphic design language. The collection includes the Africana Border, the Africana Tribe Appliqué, and related designs, each executed in cotton appliqué on a poly-linen base fabric in a 20"×20" (50×50 cm) format.

The Maze Appliqué

The Maze Appliqué cushion brings a different register, Greek-influenced geometric forms simplified into a striking pattern executed in black and ivory velvet. The combination of velvet's tactile richness with the geometric precision of the appliqué creates a cushion that reads as both luxurious and architecturally interesting. The Maze is part of the same design sensibility as the Africana range but sits in a more explicitly decorative, pattern-led territory.

The Stripe Appliqué — Brown Velvet

The Stripe Appliqué in Brown is a larger-format piece, a natural centrepiece cushion for a sofa or a statement accent on a bed. The earthy brown velvet base, combined with embroidered accents running along each stripe column, creates a piece that adds warmth, texture, and visual rhythm simultaneously. It pairs particularly well with terracotta, amber, ochre, and warm-neutral interior palettes. Highly relevant to the warm, earthy colour directions that have dominated premium Indian interior design in recent years.

HummingHaus — Handwoven Cotton Cushion Covers with Craft Heritage

HummingHaus has been weaving in Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh, since 1957, and you can see that history in the cloth. Its covers are 100% cotton and woven by hand, so the surface has a gentle irregularity that a machine can't copy. The Kite hand-woven cotton cushion cover comes in beige and carbon in 50 cm and 70 cm sizes. It is sold as a cover without an inner, giving customers the flexibility to pair it with their preferred filler weight and density. The HummingHaus cushion covers are available in custom colour combinations on request.

Sanctuary Living: cross stitch in soft colour

Sanctuary Living's Camellia covers bring hand-finished cross stitch into a modern palette. The Camellia Eucalyptus cross stitch cushion cover sits alongside versions in Rhubarb, Teal and Rose, all easy to pair with plain linen or velvet.

FIG Living: colour-blocked covers

FIG Living, the studio led by Sushant Sharma, designs its Colouways cushion covers around calm colour stories such as Coastal Escape, Blush Horizon and Limoncello. They're a simple way to bring one or two accent colours into a neutral room.

Velvet, scallops and different shapes

The collection also includes Mirage Scallop velvet covers with embroidered scalloped edges in shades from apricot to deep ochre, Cuddle round velvet cushions, Twig embroidered velvet covers, and Ripple and Tulip oblong covers that work well as lumbar cushions on a bed or a dining bench.

How to choose the best cushion covers for your space — A Guide for the Modern Indian Home

Start with the fabric- Velvet feels rich and works beautifully in a living room you use mostly in the evenings. Hand-woven cotton and linen breathe better and suit bedrooms and warmer months. Appliqué gives you texture and pattern in one piece.

Get the size right- Most sofas take 45 cm or 50 cm cushions in front, with 55 cm cushions at the back of a deeper seat. Oblong and lumbar shapes are useful for beds and single chairs, where a square cushion can feel bulky.

Mix, but with a plan. Choose one bold piece, one textured piece and one quiet piece, and keep them in the same colour family. A black-and-ivory Petrichor appliqué, a beige hand-woven HummingHaus cover and a plain velvet will sit happily together because the colours agree even though the textures don't.

Think about the fill. A beautiful cover on a tired inner never looks right. If a cover is sold without an inner, choose a firm, shape-retaining filler one size larger than the cover for a full, plump look.


Styling cushions on a sofa
On a three-seater sofa, three to five cushions usually look generous without crowding the seat. Put the larger ones at the back and the smaller or more patterned ones in front.

Bedroom Cushion Styling- On a bed, cushions serve both comfort and composition. The Maze Appliqué or an Africana design works well as a statement foreground cushion on a bed, particularly against linen or cotton bed linen in white, off-white, or stone tones.

Cushion Covers as Gifts

Premium cushion covers are among the most thoughtful and universally usable home decor gifts available. They are personal without being prescriptive, a well-chosen cushion adds to any interior rather than imposing a specific style on it.
A bold appliqué piece or a scalloped velvet cover makes a lovely housewarming or festive gift, and our gift hampers often pair a cushion cover with a candle or a small decor piece.
