The quickest way to update your home? Switch up your soft furnishings. If in doubt, you can never go wrong with a striped cushion. Modern, cool, and fun, it will forever be a style favourite.

The joy stripes bring is exponential. Add this linear pattern to any room; essentially, it’s job done. It combines both a classic and contemporary aesthetic. In many ways, it can be playful and packed with personality. Just look to Colours Of Arley. A brand renowned for revamping and reinvigorating stripes and checks, it mixes unexpected shades to achieve quirky interior perfection. In a more muted contrast, stripes are utterly timeless—elegant, chic, and unassumingly stylish.

Now, the easiest, quickest and most affordable way to embrace said pattern is by throwing in some fabulous little details, specifically striped cushions. Rowen & Wren, Zara and West Elm have all leaned into a softer vibe, so expect versions that align with minimal or Scandi decor.

If you’re prepared to turn up the dopamine, you’re in luck, as numerous brands have turned up the colour. Alice Palmer & Co has gone for colour but with a traditional, cottagecore feel. While Amuse La Bouche and, as previously mentioned, Colours Of Arley have dived into those bold rainbow hues.

I’m also loving the range by Christina Lundsteen. Not just colourful, but insanely luxurious. Equally fancy are the designs by Buchanan Studio.

The high street has stepped up with some fabulous iterations, too. Make H&M your go-to for budget-friendly yet seriously gorgeous buys. Habitat and George Home also caught my attention with their SS25 trend-inspired pieces. I mean, those baby pinks and blues are springtime musts, right?

So delve in and get ready to refresh your home…
