Cushions for a Blue Sofa

What colour cushions go with blue sofas?

The best colour cushions for a blue sofa include; neutrals like white, cream, or grey, and rich colours such as yellow, orange, and green.

It’s best to avoid dark shades like deep purple or black as they can create a muddy and cluttered look on blue that can be overly heavy. Below are what we think are the best colour cushions for blue couches and sofas.

Use light neutral cushions on blue sofas for a classic look
Blue, especially in deeper shades like navy, has an elegant and classic feel that lends itself to a timeless style. To bring out the sophistication of your blue sofa, lighter neutrals are your best bet.

White offers a crisp contrast while cream can introduce warmth and texture to your space. Grey is ideal if you’re looking for something in between these two options, with light grey being more subtle and dark grey adding more oomph and depth to the look.

Try rich colour cushions on blue sofas for an energetic vibe
While using lighter neutrals will give you elegance, using splashes of rich yellow, orange or green in your cushions for a blue sofa will give your space an energetic and modern lift.

Big, dynamic contrast is the key here, so be ready for a loud, cheerful, and vibrant look before introducing them into the room. Wander through our range of cushions and cushion covers and look for bold solids in these colours, or seek out fresh geometric prints that utilise these hues to achieve the look.
