 Purple silk cushion
I was having a browse at the new M&S homewares recently and spotted this gorgeous purple cushion.
In keeping with the purple/plum on trend colours for Autumn/Winter 2010, the cushion is made from 100% silk and features an embroidered and sequinned contemporary floral design.
Lovely to touch and lovely to look at, the purple Silk Road cushion currently benefits from having an additional 20% off the usual price, of £35. The offer runs up until the 1st September, so take advantage of it whilst you can!
There are plenty more homewares and furniture available with 20% off too at M&S.

 Silver 3D rose cushion
What do you think of this rose cushion? As 3D cushions go, we think it looks pretty impressive, as it’s effectively captured the shape of a rose flower and the intricate folds of the petals, from the middle to the outer edges.
The light chiffon material has been carefully stitched to create the rose design. The cushion is also available in cream or burgundy, but we’re rather taken by the silver, which looks very elegant.
The chiffon rose design cushion is £32 with free delivery from Not On The High Street.

Award-winning British textile designer, Selina Rose, has released a new 2010 collection of homeware items. All made from 100% wool felt, and featuring her trademark cutwork designs, two of the items that caught our eye are the unusual Scale Stool and the Flutterby butterfly cushions.
The Scale Stool is inspired by origami and is part of the range of ‘Cut and Fold’ homewares. The felt is partially cut to create folds in the felt, which look really effective. Shown here in a vivid pink, the stool is available in a choice of 17 colours and is made to order.
The distinctive Flutterby cushions have been popular for a while, but new for 2010 are three more colours – pink, lime and orange. The cut and fold effect of the butterfly wings lift up to reveal contrasting colours behind them. Measuring 45cm by 45cm the cushions are £89 each.

 Great British cushion
If you like the idea of using patriotic Union Jack home accessories in your decor scheme, but find some of them too over-the-top, then how about buying this Jack cushion instead?
The bold red cushion features a quirky dog design and he’s even wearing a Union Jack scarf around his neck for good measure.
The cushion is available from An Angel at My Table for £25.

 Applique cushion
This striking cushion is handmade in France and available exclusively at Florestine.
The white cotton cushion is brought to life by the addition of bold and bright circles and splashes of colour – aquamarine, deep marine blue and Greek blue - which are appliqued onto the cushion.
The design is inspried by the Mediterranean blue sea around the Italian island of Ischia, from which the cushion gets its name.
The Ischia cushion cover is £17 and you can also buy a cushion pad separately, from Florestine.

 Statement cushion
Osborne & Little are well known for their wallpaper and fabric design and have created this Prima Donna cushion for part of Heal’s ReDiscovers range.
Using traditional floral designs, the cushion is given a modern feel with its black and fluorescent pink roses and silver background. If you like the design and fancy more than just the cushion, there are a whole load of other matching items available, including a lampshade, rug, armchair and drum pouffe.
Personally, we feel that one or two pieces is enough to make a statement, as too much can be a bit overpowering, but each to their own.
The cushion is available from Heal’s, who are celebrating their 200th year anniversary in 2010, so look out for special offers in store and online throughout the year.

 Gorgeous sari cushions
We’ve all for mixing design ideas and themes, and antique and vintage pieces can successfully work alongside modern and contemporary. Take these antique sari seat pads from Myakka, for example.
We’ve fallen in love with the fabric and colours – wonderful embroidery, rich colours, unusual designs, gold detailing and a rainbow of colours – and love the fact that each cushion is finished off with beaded tassels in the corners.
They’re designed to be seat pads – used for sitting on – but if you think they’re a bit too nice to be squashed, you could easily use them as cushions for decorative purposes. A pale or neutral coloured sofa would look great with a few of these dotted around on it.
Each seat pad is unique, with no two being exactly the same, so you can’t guarantee exactly what colour or design you’ll get. As far as we’re concerned, that just adds to the uniqueness.
The antique sari seat pads are sold individually for £14.95 each or as a set of four for £55, from Myakka.

We’ve featured the fabulous Dandelion Clocks wallpaper by Sanderson previously on the blog, in the blue, green and grey colour scheme.
If you’re a fan of the 50s retro design, then you may want to head over to John Lewis, as a whole new range of gorgeous matching homeware products are now available in the same Dandelion Clocks design.
They’ve got a choice of two colourways – the blue, green and grey, which they’ll calling Chaffinch, and a purpley-pink, green and grey, which they call Blackcurrant.
Some of the items in the range include porcelain Dandelion Clocks dinner plates (£8), bone china mugs (£6), Dandelion Clocks cushions (£30) and even a fantastic large Dandelion Clocks rug.
Many of the items are available in a choice of colour and they’re the ideal accompaniment to the wallpaper.
