Lightweight and breathable, linen provides a crisp, natural look and is often used in more casual settings. Due to its airy nature, linen is a popular choice for warmer climates and in summer.


3. Velvet

Velvet, renowned for its luxurious gloss and texture, gives cushions a hint of sophistication. Velvet has a timeless charm that complements its lavish texture and gloss in every living area.


4. Silk

Silk cushions are lustrous and smooth, giving them an upscale, opulent impression, but they need to be handled carefully. To keep silk pillows feeling opulent, wash them by hand using a gentle detergent and try not to wring or twist them.
