Cushion Fabric
Cushion fabric is where you can be bolder than on a whole sofa or a pair of curtains. A strong print, a rich velvet or a colour you would not live with across a room all work beautifully on a cushion, and a few in a contrasting pattern bring a scheme together. Cushions also need only a small amount of fabric, which makes them a lovely way to try a design.
Clarke & Clarke offers a vast choice, from Northwood to Lustro. Sanderson has Country Woodland and Dorton Velvets, Harlequin brings exuberant colour with Amazilia, and Scion adds graphic charm with Oakham and Pomona. For pattern with heritage, Morris & Co is hard to beat.
On a large-scale design, think about which part of the pattern you want centred on each cushion, as this can mean ordering a little more. Cushions that are leant on every day benefit from a sturdier weave, so the rub test result in the product details is worth a glance. For a garden bench or window seat, choose an outdoor or performance fabric instead.
