How to style white cushions?
White will always reign as one of the most truly timeless shades that can be used in a variety of ways throughout our homes. Here are DUSK’s top styling tips on how to style white cushions.
Monochrome Tones
A sleek yet stylish colour combination is pairing white and black to create a marvellous monochromatic look. Opt for white statement cushions against darker hues such as black and navy to create a bold colour-clashing contrast.
Add Pops of Colour
Introduce accent colours through other pillows, throws, or decor items to create visual interest and contrast against the white backdrop.
Timeless Neutrals
Pair white cushions with complementing airy shades, such as cream and beige to bring subtle warmth into your interior.

How to clean white cushions?
It’s no secret that white is the most notorious colour for keeping clean. Follow these simple steps to keep your white cushions white for longer:
- Step 1: Before you begin, always check the care label to see whether your cushions are machine washable. If so, proceed with the label’s instructions. Alternatively, handwashing your cushion covers can also provide successful results.
- Step 2: Spot-treat any stains with a gentle stain remover before proceeding with washing. Use light pressure when scrubbing so as not to damage the fabric or cause any bobbling.
- Step 3: Using a gentle detergent to keep fibres stronger for longer, wash on a medium to low heat to prevent colour from fading or fabric from shrinking.
- Step 4: To avoid further heat, air dry your cushion covers either outside on a washing line or indoors on radiators. This will help to preserve the quality of the fabric for longer.
What are the benefits of a white aesthetic?
As a colour that has long represented purity, white is often thought to promote peace and tranquillity. This airy shade blends seamlessly with all other colours, bringing brightness to darker rooms and helping smaller spaces to appear larger.
