When the festive season rolls around, our homes become an extension of the holiday spirit, filled with twinkling lights, comforting scents, and cosy corners perfect for hot chocolate and family gatherings.
For some, decorating for Christmas is about subtle hints of the season, while others embrace a full festive transformation. Wherever you fall on the decorating spectrum—whether you start as soon as Halloween ends or prefer to stick to the 12 Days of Christmas tradition—festive cushions are a wonderful way to infuse seasonal joy into your space.
Christmas cushions offer the perfect blend of practicality and holiday spirit. For those who prefer understated décor, a few carefully chosen cushions can create a festive ambience throughout December. On the other hand, for maximalists, cushions can complement the tinsel and garlands, ensuring that even the sofa feels like part of the celebration.
Our Top Festive Cushion Picks
1. Traditional Tapestry Cushions
For a classic Christmas look, you can’t go wrong with tapestry cushions. The intricate designs feature traditional motifs such as Santa, snowmen, and a London Christmas scene, making them a standout addition to any living room or bedroom.
These cushions add timeless charm to homes with a vintage or farmhouse feel. Pair them with our Christmas stocking for a complete look.
2. Red and Green All Year Round
The Mill Shop’s range of red and green cushions proves that festive doesn’t have to mean temporary. These bold, classic colours scream Christmas cheer once November ends but remain versatile enough to use throughout the year. Add them to a neutral sofa to create a pop of seasonal colour that feels stylish and festive.
Nothing says “quintessentially traditional” quite like a red checked cushion. They evoke memories of cosy winter cabins, roaring fires, and festive family moments. Ideal for rustic or farmhouse interiors, they create a welcoming, warm vibe.
Many of our cushions feature machine-washable, removable covers—perfect for spills during those mulled wine or hot chocolate moments.
Don’t Forget the Extras!
