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.

Artist Prudence Caroline Oliveri launches homewares range

After a feature on The Block and an array of magazine covers, Prudence Caroline Oliveri had enough courage to quit her day job as a make-up artist, and give painting canvases a red-hot go. However, practicing art full-time was not enough. So, she decided to create a homewares line, which launches today!

With three core collections, the products are a combination of materials that make her heart sing: “velvet, concrete, textured cotton, leather, brass and colourful art!” Most distinctive is Prudence’s textiles range, which is digitally printed with her original artwork. “There are three cushions, a monster floor cushion and a throw. The prints I’ve used on the textiles are of my favourite artworks from the past year or so. The newest is the throw named Three Oh, which is constructed from the sold out limited edition print, Station 30.”

Also on offer is a concrete collection, encouraged by Prudence’s concreter husband, as well as the introduction of her original artworks on paper. “In the concrete collection we have a natural and black stool with hand selected river stones. Plus concrete platters in natural, painted and washed. I have also printed my original artworks on paper – with stamped leather and brass detail logo.”

She came up with the idea for a homewares line after moving house, and motivated by her beautiful new surroundings. “I was inspired by a mix of products in my home and wanted to blend them into things I could offer for others to put into theirs. My concrete home sprung ideas for smaller concrete items and my art brought about the idea of digitally printed art cushions with a velvet reverse and contrast piping.”

While painting is still at the core of what she does, Prudence does admit she’s had a lot of fun with the new homewares line, so if time permits there’ll definitely be more to come! But for now you can get your hands on her current collection, with new original artworks and one-off concrete objects being added each month.
