Handmade cushion
If you love new cushions, like one-of-a-kind designs and good value for money, then this pretty blue leaf cushion ticks all the boxes.
Handmade in Cornwall from 100% printed cotton and blue crinkled fabric from Harlequin, the cushion features some eye-catching extra detail down the side panel. A cascade of delicate green beads and ribbons adorn the panel, with the addition of a nice ‘Handmade With Love’ bead too – perfect if you’re giving it as a gift.
The cushion cover opens in envelope style and is filled with a 100% duck feather pad.
You can buy the blue leaf cushion from Modern Drapery for £29.99.

Soft linen cushion
For those of you on the search for homeware bargains, many sites still have sale sections in action this month. At Feather and Black, they’ve got various pieces of furniture and home accessories listed in their sale section, including lots of lovely cushions.
This sage green lily cushion caught our eye, for example. Made from soft linen, it features a simple repeated embroidered outline design of a flower along the front, and has small shell buttons on the back.
The lily sage cushion was £25, but is now £19 at Feather and Black.

The pre-Christmas sales are continuing in abundance. Debenhams has some good offers running on various items, including up to half price on homeware.
There some good offers on cushions and we love these 3D flower felt cushions that are now half price. The decorative cushion has a lovely 3D flower effect, which almost makes it too nice to lean back against.
The cushion is available in a choice of three tempting colours - pink, turqouise and red – and each cushion is now only £15 each from Debenhams.

Purple velvet cushion
We’re loving all of the rich purple colours that are featuring in the home decorating and interiors palette for autumn/winter.
A shop we don’t normally think to look in for home ideas (probably as our local branch doesn’t have a home section) is M&Co. Their website carries a good range of home products and we couldn’t help but spot this luxurious looking purple velvet cushion.
The square cushion (it measures 43cm by 43cm) is made from soft purple velvet with a contrasting gold embroidered flower design on the front. As cushions go, it’s reasonably priced at only £14. It would look great used on a sofa or bed and we bet it would be ideal for snuggling up with on a chilly winter day. The purple velvet cushion is available online from M&Co.

Gorgeous dimensional cushion
This is one of the cushions I’ve loved all year, thanks to its funky three dimensional effect. The front of the square cushion is made up of four large 3D flowers and it’s lovely and soft to the touch, as it’s made from 80% wool.
I’m surprised this cushion hasn’t sold out long before now, but I’m very glad, as it’s now half price in the M&S summer sale. It was priced at £35 but is now only £17 – and it will soon be mine!
If you’ve been hankering after any homewares, or fancy updating your cushions, then head over to the M&S sale and check out the bargains.

Patchwork bird cushion
Although relatively simple in design, this square cushion is made more interesting by the use of patchwork effect birds. Sitting on three wires, the birds are made from a mixture of fabrics, creating a colourful look.
The cushions are handmade to order by Kindred Rose, so you can request certain colours if you wish, otherwise I quite fancy a random selection. It’s made from 100% cotton, filled with a feather pad and the cover can be easily removed for washing.

Cushion made from kimono fabric
This striking cushion is handmade from vintage kimono fabric.
Featuring bright and cheery flowers, on an orangey background, the cushion is finished off with scarlet red velvet backing fabric, which helps provide a luxurious feel.
The cushion is very spring-like and would definitely add a great splash of colour into a room. It’s available from Eclectic Chair on Bouf.
