Bolster cushions are an essential styling tool. These decorative cushions don’t only provide comfort but can bring some much needed texture, colour and length into a space that’s feeling flat. On a bed, they’re often the missing piece, effortlessly tying the room together, while in the living room, they’re often thrown onto sofas or benches for additional layering, comfort and support.
This season, we’re seeing plenty of gorgeous bolster cushion designs hit the stores. Start by shopping some of our favourites.
