Scatter Cushion Buyer’s Guide
Scatter cushions are decorative cushions that can be placed around your home and garden to create a welcoming and homely feel. Loved for both their aesthetics and comfort, there’s no better way to tie a room together than with a decorative cushion – or four!
Whether you’re after a pop of colour or an eye catching pattern, this buyer’s guide will tell you all you need to know about scatter cushions.
Material
Scatter cushions are available in both synthetic and natural materials. Cotton covers are hard wearing and washable, although cotton is rarely suitable for outdoor use.
If you’re looking for an outdoor scatter cushion or you’re on a limited budget, you can’t go wrong with polyester. Imitating natural fibres, polyester cushions are soft, durable and often water resistant. They can be easily washed and are perfect if you share a home with messy kids and pets!
Dimensions
Scatter cushions are available in a huge range of sizes to suit any existing furniture. Small square scatter cushions look good on armchairs, while rectangular scatter cushions are best for large scale furniture. Cushions that are too big will make the space look smaller, while those of you with a lot of space to work with can opt for larger, more eye catching cushions.
Design
You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to the design of your scatter cushions. Those designed for outdoor use are often available in block colours to liven up an outside space. Indoor scatter cushions may have a velvet finish and be available in richer colours. Others have vibrant patterns that will make your sofa or chair the focal point of the room.
There’s an endless number of shapes to consider too. Rectangular, round, and square cushions are all extremely popular.
Care Instructions
Scatter cushions are generally very easy to care for, and they only need semi-regular cleaning. The best scatter cushion cover will be machine washable, and many also have a filling that can be machine washed too. More delicate cushions will need to be washed by hand and left to dry naturally.
