One of the biggest ongoing trends at the moment is the novelty cushion.

What better and inexpensive way is there to bring your room to life. A cushion or even better a selection of cushions can transform any room and inject a sense of fun. You can mix and match styles of cushions in a way that other home furnishing will not allow. So bring your room right up to date and make it entirely your own by choosing from a selection of novelty cushion that can reflect your personality and make you feel cosy at the same time.

One of the big trends this summer is leaf prints. For those of you who follow our blog you will remember our Emerald based blog which showcased Emerald being this year’s wining pantone colour, which is the very reason why leaf designs are very much on trend.

This look works best with neutral walls and flooring, the clean backdrop is perfect for showing this classic look. As we know green is the most relaxing colour so is perfect when used in the rooms that we choose to relax in. below are some of our favourites from our made to measure  fabric section.

By using the leafy green with duckeggs and warm beiges you can create a warn and completely relaxed atmosphere. And, if you don’t want to buy into the whole look why not just add a few cushions for a fun and funky look!

So much so, that sending them to their room will certainly not be a punishment they do not want to endure. Where better to let your imagination run wild then a kids bedroom? It is the perfect place to inject some bright and funky ideas which we would not dream of using anywhere else in the home. Below is a selection of our favorites to get you inspired.  Any of these children’s fabrics can be used to create a fun pair of curtains or for a more inexpensive option they are perfect for cushions which will inject a sense of fun and are easy to replace. And, add blackout lining to a curtain which will then block almost all light if it covers all parts of the window.
