The Art of Contrasting Cushions- Mastering Jewel Tones Paired with Luxury Neutrals

Over the years, luxury has been associated with subtle colors and fine details. However, 2025 is bringing with it a wave of change where bold colors are making a comeback and this time, the bold tones are working in tandem with muted tones to create spaces that echo sophistication in every corner.

Soft furnishing essentials like Luxury Cushion Covers have forever been the cornerstone of home decor. You can instantly elevate the vibe of your living room simply by choosing to change the cushions of your living area. Today, we explore how soft furnishings in bold tones can elevate the look of your living space with neutrals.

Jewel tones like emerald green, striking oranges and ruby carry an inherent sense of opulence. Their origins lie in precious gemstones, making them naturally associated with wealth, power, and timeless beauty. Luxury neutrals, by contrast, offer softness and versatility. Think creamy ivories, warm taupes, soft greys, and muted beiges.

Color theory describes the mechanism of this combination - Jewel tones are rich and vibrant, sitting opposite or adjacent to neutral shades on the colour wheel. This creates a complementary contrast, which is pleasing to the eye and stimulates interest. Meanwhile, the muted luxury neutrals function as a “resting place” for the eyes, preventing overstimulation.
