If there's one interior colour having a moment this summer, it's pale pink. Gone are the days of it being a playful novelty, purely reserved for children's bedrooms or playrooms. Now, the pastel, powdery shade has transitioned into a cool, sophisticated neutral, able to lend itself to practically every room in the house.
If you've seen the colour pop up on Instagram or Pinterest, but don't have the funds to completely change the aesthetic of your home, one of the best ways to incorporate it is through decorative cushions. From elegant velour to cottagecore frills to bohemian fringes, there are *so* many versions that suit all styles and tastes.
Here, Cosmo UK has rounded up some of the most stylish dusty pink cushions on the high street — some of which start from £7. Whether it's Habitat, Next, M&S or ASDA, there's a pillow for you:
Blush Pink 43 x 43cm Matte Velvet Cushion
Want something that looks expensive but won't break the bank? This blush matte velvet cushion from Next has answered all your prayers. Cute, simple, and stylish, it'd look stunning on a bed or sofa. Hey, if it's that cheap, why not both?
Habitat Habitat Checker Board Cushion - White & Pink - 43x43cm
Habitat Habitat Checker Board Cushion - White & Pink - 43x43cm
Habitat has long been an interior favourite — the brand nails everything from trinket boxes to duvet sets. Of course, they're also masters of decorative cushions, too. Take this checkerboard one, for instance. It's the perfect addition for those looking to add a statement piece to their living room.
This is the ideal bedroom cushion for the cottagecore lover. We're picturing this with a rattan bed frame, white textured bedding and original floorboards.
Pink 45 x 45cm Soft Velour Contrast Fringe Cushion
Pale pink? Check. Fringed? Check. Velour? Check. Under £20? Check. The facts are there, people. What more can we do to convince you?
Habitat Habitat Woven Cushion - Rose - 43x43cm
Keep it simple with one (or two) of these woven cushions. They're the ideal cushions to layer at the back with more statement pieces on your sofa or bed. Or, if simplicity is, in fact, your goal, don't add anything extra.
Laura Ashley is another revered interior brand. Known for its signature romantic, nostalgic, and bucolic style, it celebrates traditional English country life with a blend of Victorian and prairie-inspired fashion. This cushion? Nails it all.
Last but not least, who doesn't love cord? Especially when it comes packaged as a dusty pink cushion. Cord adds texture and style, and this cushion in particular would suit both the bedroom and the living room.
