Show us your cushions……..we need something lighthearted!

I made my cushions to pad the IKEA thingy as a window seat

My cushions are self-propelling.

I’ve loved this thread but then I’m obsessed with cushions! Well, some women buy shoes so …. Get over here Oreo you know you want to and you’re halfway already with that fake orchid. I haven’t got any cushions on the bed but can’t see it’s much of a faff to toss them on the floor at night and put them back in the morning, the work of moments. All your cushions (and pets!) are lovely. I shall be changing mine to the autumn range soon! 😉

Only one on the bed as it supports my back when reading.
Love lots of colour on the sofa though.

Cushions?? NOOOOO!!!!! Not anywhere, even the ones that match our motorhome decor are indoors and vacuum packed in a cupboard out the way.

I just love glimpses of lovely homes when a thread like this started.
I have mind pictures of regular GN contributors and then I get a mind picture of their lovely homes.
Thank you all.

Before I saw this post, I had just made the bed. And I said to hubby “if I die, will you still arrange the cushions on the bed, or leave them on the floor?” He replied “they will all go in the bin” 😆 He loves me really. I have retro patterned ones on my sofas to brighten them up. I use them to balance my iPad on and for a little nap.

I still blush with embarrassment when I remember one year we posted photos of our Christmas trees and I compared LauraNorderr’s to a bottle brush.

We had our latest bedroom curtains made as I no longer have my sewing machine, which was from the 1960s and died from overwork! The friend who made them was a professional curtain and soft furnishings maker. She had material over and made 2 cushions for the bedroom and they go on the chairs there, not the bed. We have a plain sofa with coloured cushions which match the spots on the curtains. I can't show you pictures of my beautiful orchid as it's real 😃

I couldnt be bothered to have cushions to put on and off the bed. I have pillows which are matched to the duvet cover, but also have a v shaped pillow that provides two things. One is to be behind my back when I am struggling with my back and am more comfortable watching tv or listening to a concert in bed. The other thing is to provide me with a way to raise my legs especially when I am having problems with either cramp or swollen legs. So pure practicality. (If I won the lottery or whatever I would have newly ironed linen sheets fresh every day. Bliss!

I like 2 on the living room sofa and sit with 1 behind my back. I change them for each season/holiday.It breaks up the monotony and it keeps me from wanting to redecorate the whole room.

No cushions on the bed for me either, I don't have much space in my bedroom so wouldn't know where to put them at night. Also don't really see the point, nobody but me and my husband would see them and he's not a cushion kind of man.
Cushions on the sofa are another matter, they make it so much more comfortable. I'm currently looking for some new ones are the old ones are wearing on their piping and looking past their best. Quite a decision as the room is fairly plain and the cushions give it a bit of a lift!

But, in my view, the cushion and runner etc in our room make the room more attractive. Do none of you go into your bedrooms between getting up and going to bed?

My hair in the bedroom has a similar cushion to the one on the bed and I have a real orchid on my chest of drawers.

We have a couple between the pillows, but we have a super king bed and the gap looks odd without. Oddly you can't get super king pillows, so super king duvet sets don't have larger pillow cases.

Rarely kitty once I'm downstairs that’s it, unless I’m cleaning, if the bed is being stripped one of us does it when we get up.

My chair in the bedroom not my hair - that would be silly.

My hall chair cushions - the soft squishy neck cushion one changes its' cover for each seasonal holiday.

I like to air my bed.
I fold the duvet completely back and push the windows wider in summer/warm weather.
I don't "make" the bed for hours.

Cushions on a bed seem curious to me.

Am feeling the siren call of a cushion or two and maybe, gasp! A large scented candle. If not careful I will even be buying another fake orchid and buying a cat to arrange on the bed.😁
An Autumn range😲 whoa, that’s an addictive step too far for me at the moment…..

I love cushions.
I just made this one for my mum, with the discarded samples she accumulated when she was looking for new curtains. I managed to use up a bit of leftover curtain lining and an old cushion pad. All I had to buy was the ribbon.

That is so pretty!

I still blush with embarrassment when I remember one year we posted photos of our Christmas trees and I compared LauraNorderr’s to a bottle brush.

And it really is just like a bottle brush but it will come out again this year.
It’s eight inches tall and is all I can bear in my tiny flat.
Hopefully one day soon the tiny flat will sell and we can buy a little house with room for a bigger tree…
perhaps thirty-six inches

Loving all the pictures, it’s so nice to share a little bit of ourselves.
As UtbB has said we form an impression of various posters and the glimpse behind the front door can surprise, in a good way of course.

Beautiful Lahlah and noone else will have one like it.
I will be looking in Dunelm for the donkeys Grandmadinosaur.

Love my cushions on my bed and have a few more on my sofa (different colours)
