8 cushions worth splurging on

Cushion shopping can be overwhelming to say the least. From monochromes and brights to linens and velvets, the options are endless. So, we are here to help. And while at Interiors Addict we love a bargain, some luxuries are worth spending those few extra dollars on! Introducing our pick of 8 cushions worth splurging on.

Le Marc’s Aubusson Cushion: Hand-stitched intricate patterns give this cushion a distressed look. I can just imagine it in the boudoir of an ancient palace, alongside tapestries and fine china. A botanical theme and soft tones on a hand-dyed cotton blend brings the Aubusson Cushion into this century. It is available in three colours, for $295 with a feather insert.

Sage and Clare’s Laurel Fringe Cushion: Woven on a hand loom, the playful multicolour fringing defines this textural chevron cushion. Featuring a hand printed sunflower reverse and a feather insert, the Laurel Fringe Cushion is $149.

MJG’s Easy Leather Round Cushion: With tan leather on one side and canvas on the other, this soft and decorative cushion could fit effortlessly into any home (Jen has one in hers). Also available in square and rectangle variations, it retails for $139 with insert.

Greg Natale’s Le Marais Dusty Pink Cushion: Let’s face it, you can’t have a cushion wrap without a shout out to Greg Natale! The Le Marais Cushion is reversible, with one side featuring a hand-embroidered pattern on cotton and the other a linen print. Colourful but sophisticated, it is $109.95 with a feather blend insert.

Fazeek’s Hands Off Oatmeal Cushion:  Make your mark with Hands Off, a striking design hand-printed in Melbourne. Available in three colourways, the 100% linen cover with insert retails for $120. Plus if you love the design, you can get matching tea towels, throws and more!

Prudence Caroline’s Shortbread Cushion: If you can’t afford the colourful, abstract artworks of Prudence Caroline, a digitally printed cushion is the next best thing! With her art on one side and a baby pink velvet on the reverse, it measurers 40x100cm, perfect for a statement piece on your bed. It retails for $179 with insert.

Oon Home’s Buneko Cushion in Marble: It takes several hours to create just one piece! Made via traditional techniques in Nepal, it brings to life beautiful textures, natural patterns and some serious wool goodness. Functioning as a floor cushion or chair pad, it is available in four colourways for $199 (but half price on sale last time we looked!).

Ink & Spindle’s Kookaburra & Bracken Cushion: Paying homage to Australia, the linen cushion features a hand printed kookaburra design on one side and a bracken design on the other. Made from meterage, every cushion features a different section of the design, giving each piece its own unique look. It retails for $112 with an ethical feather insert.

Ink & Spindle’s new range inspired by native Australiana, with a twist!

This season, Melbourne textiles studio Ink & Spindle have not only introduced a new product range but a whole new colour palette.

With the new colour palette still reflecting their love of native Australiana — but with a twist — the hues are fresh and bright, inspired by the likes of the blush pink Murray River salt, the bluestone of Melbourne’s lane ways and the yellow of a cockatoo’s feathers.

Ink&Spindle_1

With a range of readymade homewares on offer, they have created both new cushions ($77) and a new large floor cushion design ($140), available to purchase alongside other homewares direct from their online store. However, for those who prefer more of a DIY route, their prints are also available to purchase by the metre.

All Ink & Spindle textiles feature original designs, hand printed in their studio in Kensington, Melbourne using only sustainable and fair trade natural base cloths and inks that are water-based and solvent-free. All readymade products are handmade either by the Ink & Spindle team or by local makers.

Ink & Spindle branch out into ready-made homewares

Known for selling their beautiful textiles by the metre, this Christmas Ink & Spindle have branched into ready-made homewares, releasing a small collection of pyramid floor cushions for kids, ottomans and cushions.

“We get a lot of enquiries from people who love our designs but don’t necessarily have the time, skills or tools required to turn fabric by-the-metre into something special for their home,” explains co-founder Caitlin Klooger. “While we are very proud to supply our fabric to lots of other makers, we wanted to expand our own range to include more ready-made pieces that are not only beautiful but also functional.”

All their homewares are made with ethically sourced, natural textiles that have been hand printed with original Ink & Spindle designs, with the end result being pieces that are affordable, durable and hand washable.

With Caitlin and her co-founder Lara Cameron being mother’s themselves, durability and beauty were a must, with their pyramid cushions offering an option for kids furniture that doesn’t have to be hidden away! “We both love finding pieces that are kid-centric yet still interesting, beautiful to have around, well made and – perhaps most importantly, machine washable,” says Caitlin. “Our aim was to create something that you’d be proud to keep in your living room, rather than be hidden away when visitors came, or banished to the bedroom or playroom.”

Inspired by a love for Australia’s native flora and fauna, as well as the energy of Ink & Spindle’s hometown of Melbourne, their designs aim to have inherent longevity, rather than following current design or fashion trends too closely.

As with all Ink & Spindle textiles, the pieces in the new range have been made according to the highest standards of sustainability and ethics, including using only sustainable and fair trade base cloths and water based, solvent free inks.
