When the high street homeware lines are suddenly so good, it can be easy to feel like you want to makeover your whole home / flat / university bedroom. But realistically - it's not always that easy. Yes, we'd love to have a velvet brown sofa with cowboy artwork hanging above it and a striped rug - but equally, we don't always have the £££ to drop all in one go.
Thankfully, you don't always have to fully commit - a cushion can be a great way to experiment with a trend or colour combination in your home, without having to go all 60 Minute Makeover.
George at Asda is one of our favourite places for picking up quick styling pieces, and their cushion selection is top tier right now. From pink and orange gingham to statement trims, here are 7 on-trend and easy to cushions to upgrade your home with this summer.
We love pink and orange together, and this organic squiggle pattern is a really easy way to bring a bit of fun to your room.
How expensive does this cushion look? We love the frilled edge and stripes together.
'Busy Doing Nothing' Slogan Embroidered Cushion
'Busy Doing Nothing' Slogan Embroidered Cushion
A tongue in cheek slogan is always a big yes in our book, especially when it also ticks the 'whimsy' box.
For something a little bit more versatile, consider bringing in a new texture - like this on-trend cord design - which has over 390 five-star reviews.
Animal print is timeless in our books, which makes this cow print cushion a perfect addition to any living space.
For something a little bit more lowkey, we love this scallop edged black and white cushion, which would look great on any bed.
Sage green is bang on trend for this season, and the blanket stitch on this makes it feel luxurious.
