Why pick plain when you can go beaded, sequinned, embroidered or fringed?
There are cushions – and then there are embellished cushions. These gilded and glitzy numbers do more than just accessorise a sofa, bed or chair, they’re a talking point and statement piece in their own right.
Justifiably so, as many of these glamorous cushions have been hand-embroidered, stitched with sequins, covered with gems or otherwise taken beyond the cushion comfort-zone of colour and pattern.
So pimp up your furniture with one of these prized possessions.
