While interior trends are ever changing (whatever happened to feature walls?), one thing seems to transcend them all: bouclé. The textured fabric has become a mainstay for adding warmth and cosiness to any room, thanks to the way the looped yarn gives a soft and almost sheepskin-like appearance.
Usually found in warm beiges or creams, the colour palette helps, too - it's super versatile because it fits in with any interior choices you've made already, and won't look out of place with any existing colour schemes.

If you want to add depth to your home by introducing a bouclé fabric, Primark have the perfect option. Their new bolster cushion is just £6, and looks way more expensive than it is, bringing a touch of luxury to your space, too.
Whether you use it as a scatter cushion on your sofa, or on your bed to draw the eye and add a new texture on top of your favourite reversible bedding set, the opportunities really are endless. Maybe you use it on an armchair to break up a solid colour?
Although the taupe hue is our favourite, the bouclé cushion does also come in pink and white. We know what we'll be buying next!
