The Easy Home Update We Love
From frilly edges to seersucker stripes, there is no quicker way to update a tired sofa or bored bedroom space than with some new cushions. Scroll to shop our pick of the current trends and brands for an easy home update this summer.
There are so many great options around right now, whether you want to play it safe on a high street budget or are investing in your sofa space with some of the loveliest interiors and fabric brands in the UK right now. Also, with such a melting pot of interior trends right now, there really is something for everyone, whether you’re into the chintzy country pile look, 1970s retro flair or are after something more classic like a bold stripe.
Scroll to shop our top four trends making their way onto cushions this season…
Bold Stripes
Bold stripes are everywhere in the interior world right now, from wallpapers to ceramics and sofas. An easy and noncommittal way to work the trend into your home is with cushions.
We love the nostalgic feel of Alice Palmer’s Tangier red-striped cushion. The earthy red tone is brought down a peg with the softness of the frilly edge – more on those later – and we love it mixed in with other prints in similar colourways.
For something more inexpensive, check out H&M and M&S for their range of nautical-inspired seersucker stripes.

Spring Florals
Florals in spring may be an obvious choice in the fashion world, but we love them all year round when it comes to interiors. There are plenty of brands doing the trend in that really dainty, sweet ditsy way – think something between classic Liberty print and 1980s Laura Ashley – and we especially love the look in a bedroom to add a calming softness.
Brands to note are Coco & Wolf – lovely in children’s bedrooms – as well as Daughters of Gaea whose handprinted cushions are reversible with busy florals on both sides which move through two colourways from sunburst yellow to dark sapphire and grape purple.
