Scattering decorative cushions is a great way to soften up your home decor, and frill-edged ones are everywhere right now.
When looking for ways to add personality, warmth, colour or texture to your home, scattering decorative cushions is a sure-fire way to do just that. They instantly elevate the cosy factor of a room, and have the power to transform an empty and uninviting sofa into a pillowy palace you’ll never want to leave.
There are so many types of decorative cushion to choose from, but one homeware trend we can’t get away from right now is frilly cushions. Everywhere we look we’re stumbling over a ruffle or frill edge, and it’s no wonder. It might seem like a subtle detail, but a frilly cushion can immediately bring a soft, playful, feminine and romantic feel to your decor.
There are so many frilly cushions out there right now, that you’re bound to find one that suits your style, whether it’s plain or patterned, velvet or cotton, muted tones or bright. Here are 11 frilly cushions to add to your collection now.
Dunelm frilled check cushion olive
Gingham has been big news in fashion and homeware for a while now and isn’t showing showing any signs of going away anytime soon. This green and white frill-edged cushion from Dunelm is a great way to cash in on the checkered trend – and it would make a perfect addition to a garden sofa in the summer.
John Lewis velvet frill cushion
We can’t get enough of the gorgeous sky-blue hue of this cushion from John Lewis. The velvet adds a feeling of luxury and warmth, while the back of the cushion matches the stripy frill-trimmed edge, which essentially means it’s two cushions in one.
Urban Outfitters western toile ruffle cushion
Not only does this large square cushion come finished with a feminine frilly edge, the illustrative print – which features horses, cowgirls, cacti and desert landscapes – perfectly taps into the current trend for all things Western, too.
H&M frill-trimmed cushion cover
For a minimalist’s take on the frilly cushion, H&M has this rectangular offering in light beige. Also available in a soft greige, the soft quilting on the front creates subtle texture, while the frill trim has been left with a raw edge for a quiet luxury vibe.
TBCo cotton pillowcases, set of two
Frilly cushions aren’t just for the sofa – TBCo has designed a range of frilly-edged pillowcases to match their stripy duvet covers. Also available in pink/green and pink/red colourways, the playful pillowcases are made from poplin cotton, which is skin-friendly and breathable for your best night’s sleep.
Volga Linen eucalyptus cushion with terracotta frill
Handmade in England from 100% linen, Volga Linen’s frilly cushion might be on the pricier side but would make a stunning addition to an accent chair or armchair. The raw-edged frill trim is whimsical and feminine, while the earthy colourway grounds the design in grown-up elegance.
