Mirror Work Embroidered Cushion Cover
In today’s home the humble cushion is as common place as the chair or sofa it sits upon. Quite simply the easiest and most accessible way to style any living space, cushion covers are one of the most popular home accessories available. Cushions and pillows are now a clearly divided range of home accessories, but in the beginning they were really the same thing. In ancient times Egyptians would use stone or marble blocks with a half moon shape cut to lay their head on. It is believed rather than for comfort these types of early pillows/cushions were used more to keep bugs from crawling into ears. There is also evidence to suggest that the Romans were using cushions too and the Zafu meditation cushion has its roots in ancient Chinese and Japanese history.

Luxury weaves its story through comfort giving show stoppers. Treat your home to a collection of lux designer cushions. Choosing the right material is really down to where you want to place your cushion and what you want to use it for. For a cushion intended to be placed on the sofa cotton is the best option. Silk is also another popular choice that features a beautiful texture. It is one of the most luxurious materials that a cushion can be made from, with its smooth texture and high quality feel it is best reserved for cushions that are going to be placed on a bed or an occasional chair.
Colorful Throw Pillow Cover
Be adventurous with your choices, cushions aren’t a permanent fixture in your home or outdoor space so it’s safe to experiment. Mixing embroidered cushion covers with kantha stitched applique cushion cover is a great way to break up the designs, but always use similar colors to avoid over clashing. For the less adventurous, try an ethnic Indian hand crafted cushion cover with mirror work. Lastly, think about cushions as a personalized touch to an overall decor theme. They can bring all the elements of your interior together by simply fusing colors and patterns found around the room. A great style counts on the details, and this is extremely true in cushions. Details such as appliqué, embroidery, fringing and tassels can be the perfect finishing touch to your cushion arrangement and in turn your room’s overall style.
