Money can buy you happiness, if you spend it right and beautiful new cushions to make life cosy and comfy are up there when it comes to spending it right in my book! Our living kitchen family room sofa is all about the cushions, as you can see above, and I am adding to it on an ongoing basis.
Style up your sofa and add extra colour and comfort with a beautiful new cushion, or two. Cushions can transform a tired sofa or create a new colour scheme for a room with a few choice cushions. Choose your favourite design from some of the latest designs for the new season.
