Cushy Koosh Cushions

These decadent Silk Cushions make a stunning addition to any living room. Made from 100% Indian silk, the cushions are gently patterned and team well with the Plain Silk Cushions in coordinating colours to create a designer look with ease. Being silk, cushion covers are dryclean only to preserve the quality of the fabric.

Cushions are a great way of updating a room on a budget and can be changed seasonally to reflect the colour and mood changes of the seasons. For example, in winter, the Choc Purple Silk Cushion would sit perfectly next to the Designer Silk Cushion in Beige Twig.

In summer, the Designer Cushions in Deco Dot Lime teamed with the Cream Frost Silk Cushions lighten and brighten the room to to give it a summery feel.

Cushion Tip:
Rotate your cushions weekly to ensure even wear. Our cushions contain high quality Tonine filling which will not lose its plumpness as other inferior fillings do, which means less maintenance and a longer lasting comfort.
