 Contemporary cushion Cushions are one of the easiest ways of updating the look of a sofa, chair or bed and we’re constantly on the lookout for new designs.
This cushion design – Among The Trees – from textiles company Kitty McCall (run by London-based print designer, Catherine Nice) is buzzing with colour and energy. It has a fresh and contemporary feel to it and is unlike any other cushion design we’ve featured before.
The printed design is, “inspired by layered patterning created while drawing with no fixed starting point or end,” and each cushion is unique.
At £69, Among the Trees is not a cheap cushion, but it is unusual and there’s plenty of depth and interest to keep drawing your eyes back to it.

 Bargain bird cushion Yes, it’s birds again….but we love the look of this contemporary bird cushion.
Based on folk designs, but with a modern twist, the cushion features an array of colourful birds in red, orange, blue, grey and green. The 45cm square cover is made from a cotton and linen mix and it has a feather pad inside.
Originally priced at £25, the bird cushion is now a bit of a bargain at only £15 from Primrose and Plum.
You’ll need to hurry though, as there’s only one left….
More sale bargains can be found in their Summer Offers section.

If simple, neutral colours rock your interior world, then these floral linen cushions provide a great dose of simple elegance.
The natural colour linen cushions are printed with a simple floral design, which is available in white or grey.
The linen flower print cushions cost £38 and are available from Plant Theatre.
If these are far too understated for you, then they also sell a more vibrant botanical design cushion which would inject a dose of colour into a room.

 1950s inspired design Like their popular Dandelion Clocks range of soft furnishings and homeware products, the Perpetua design is another of Sanderson’s prints that is influenced by retro 1950s designs.
The inspiration for Perpetua came from a design found in the Sanderson archive, originally produced in 1953. It’s evolved into a simple but effective design that features stylised shapes representing flowerheads and solid and dotted lines forming stems.
The design and style successfully achieves a modern and contemporary look and works very well in interior design today.
The Perpetua cushion is available in two colourways from John Lewis, including this lovely purple cassis colour.
The Sanderson Perpetua cushion is priced at £35 and comes filled with a feather pad.
