The Living Edit / Softly Spoken
The softer side of staying in.
Linen against the arm of a sofa, a throw folded within reach and a little pattern where the room needs it. Explore soft furnishings through our cushion covers and throws. Mix an expressive print with a quieter companion, or let a change of texture do the work without adding another colour.
Byard’s Boutique Proper Things for Everyday Life
Choose enough cushions for comfort without filling the place where you want to sit.
Check whether a cushion listing is cover only or includes a filler, and confirm the size.
A plain linen companion can give a printed cushion space to stand out.

The Living Edit / Notes
A room-wide colour scheme is not always the easiest starting point. Sometimes one printed cushion gives you all the direction you need. Pick out a quieter colour for a plain companion, then choose a throw for the texture or comfort it adds. Keep enough room to sit naturally and allow the fabric to move. The result should feel inviting in use, not as though the arrangement must be put back after every cup of tea.
The Living Edit / Notes
Soft furnishings become more interesting when their surfaces are not identical. A visible linen weave can sit beside a textured throw, with colour providing the connection between them. Our linen cushion covers include original printed designs and plain styles made to sit alongside them. Choose the finish and size for your seat or bed, then check the selected filler option and care details before building the rest of the arrangement.
The Byard’s choosing guide
Begin with the colour of your sofa or bedding, then choose one print or texture to lead. Add a quieter companion and an extra layer for actual use. Check sizes and care before committing to a complete arrangement.
Choose one shared colour, then vary the texture or scale of the pattern. A printed cushion can sit beside plain linen with a textured throw nearby. You do not need every piece to match; keeping one element quieter helps the individual details remain visible.
Not necessarily. Read the selected product option carefully: some listings offer a cover alone and a separate filled choice. Check the cover's dimensions and the recommended insert before ordering. The photographs may show a filled cushion even when the selected purchase option is cover only.
No. Fibre composition, printing, trims and construction can change the required care. Follow the label and product instructions for each piece, rather than washing a mixed set together automatically. Check whether covers and inserts need separate treatment and whether any item requires specialist cleaning.
