34 joyful decorative cushions and where to buy them

For the at-all-fearful amongst us, cushions are the safest way to inject colour, pattern and interest to a room. And whether it’s a handwoven textile that would be unaffordable in large quantities, or a dash of colour that might be unpalatable for a whole room, a well-honed pillow-scape is the perfect way to push your aesthetics.

We have selected a wide array of designs with a decorative soul - from graphic to floral; embellished to embroidered to help you pick and pair cushions for your own house. So, whether it's a bedroom with plain bedding or a living room with a simple sofa you want to brighten up, and whether your taste runs more to frou-frou or pared-back, scroll down for House & Garden's pick of the best cushions to buy now.
