It’s official—2025 is the year of comfort with character. And when it comes to home styling, cushions are stepping up in a big way. These once-overlooked accessories are now scene-stealers, capable of transforming an entire room with just a few thoughtful touches.
Whether you’re giving your living room a refresh, cozying up the bedroom, or creating a new favourite reading spot, cushions are the simplest way to update your space without diving into a full-blown makeover.
At Asmi London, we’ve been paying close attention to what’s trending in textures, tones, and artisan touches.
Top Cushion Trends for 2025
1. Luxe Textures Are In
In 2025, it’s all about feeling good—not just looking good. Cushions in rich, touchable fabrics are making waves, adding both comfort and visual interest to every space.
What’s trending:
Velvet: Still a go-to for its softness and depth. Jewel tones like emerald, navy, and deep purple are everywhere.
Bouclé & Sherpa: These cozy, nubby textures bring a modern, lived-in feel—especially paired with neutral palettes.
Sustainable Linen & Organic Cotton: For those who love a breezy, natural vibe with an eco-friendly edge.
At Asmi London, we’re all about cushion covers that are soft enough for an afternoon nap and strong enough for real life.
2. Colour Gets Confident
This year’s palette is bold but grounded—equal parts earthy calm and playful energy. Forget all-beige everything; 2025 is about mixing mood-lifting colours with timeless tones.
On our radar:
Terracotta, Olive & Sandstone: Warm, grounded, and nature-inspired—perfect for cozy corners.
Cobalt Blue & Electric Lilac: Add a pop of colour to minimalist spaces or go all in for a vibrant statement.
Dusty Rose & Muted Mustard: A softer take on retro tones, bringing charm without being too sweet.
Style tip: Pair vibrant cushions with neutral furniture (or vice versa) to keep things balanced and stylish.
3. Crafted Patterns & Global Influence
This year, patterns are all about soul. From block prints to hand-drawn designs, people are looking for cushions with a story—something unique that feels collected rather than mass-produced.
We’re loving:
Indian & Moroccan-Inspired Prints: Traditional techniques like hand-blocking are making a modern comeback.
Abstract Watercolours: Soft, artistic patterns that look like they were painted right onto the fabric.
Monochrome Geometrics: Clean, minimal, and perfect for sleek, urban spaces.
At Asmi London, we’re blending old-world techniques with modern design—so your cushions are as meaningful as they are beautiful.
4. Layering Is the New Styling Rule
Perfect rows of matching cushions? That’s so last year. In 2025, cushion styling is all about playing with shape, size, and placement to create a space that feels relaxed and personal.
Here’s how to layer like a pro:
Mix shapes: Combine squares, lumbars, and round cushions for a collected look.
Go big and small: Use oversized 60x60 cushions as anchors, then layer smaller sizes in front.
Think in odd numbers: Threes and fives feel more natural than even pairs.
And don’t stop at the sofa—layer cushions on beds, benches, or even on the floor for extra coziness.
5. Minimalist, but Make It Meaningful
Minimalism is still going strong in 2025, but it’s less about cold, empty spaces and more about thoughtful simplicity. Think clean lines, calming tones, and just enough detail to feel considered.
What makes minimal look fresh:
Tone-on-tone embroidery: Adds texture without shouting.
Subtle textures: From raw cotton to slub linen, it's all in the details.
Tailored finishes: Crisp edges, envelope backs, and high-quality stitching.
Our Asmi London minimal collection focuses on quiet luxury—designed for homes that feel calm, curated, and never overdone.
6. Statement Cushions = Functional Art
Who says art belongs on the walls? This year, cushions are becoming creative canvases, with bold designs that show off your personality.
Big looks to love:
Line Art & Faces: Inspired by modern art, these pieces are playful and striking.
Hand Embroidery: Detailed motifs, storytelling stitches, and heirloom-worthy craftsmanship.
Typography Cushions: Say it with style—whether it’s a meaningful quote or a cheeky wordmark.
These are the pieces that spark conversation—and joy—every time you walk into the room.
7. Sustainability Is the Standard
Not just a trend, but a way forward. In 2025, people are choosing cushions that are as kind to the planet as they are stylish. And thankfully, you don’t have to compromise one for the other.
Look for:
GOTS-certified organic fabrics
Natural dyes & water-saving printing techniques
Handcrafted by artisans, not mass-produced
At Asmi London, sustainability is stitched into everything we do—from design to delivery. We believe beautiful homes start with thoughtful choices.
