Embroidered Cushions – Your Design Options

Embroidered cushions can create a specific mood or theme in any room. They are works of art that can make a plain room comfortable and inviting, and transform dull furniture into an attractive piece.

They come in a wide variety of unique and different designs, too. Because they are handmade, no two pieces of embroidered cushions are exactly alike.

This is because careful handiwork and unique designs that are taken in to consideration when making them. This way, craftsmen can create eye-catching details and attractive embroidered cushions. Indian craftsmen are some of the notable manufacturers of these products.

These cushions can usually be filled with scraps of fabric, cotton, and polystyrene or polyfiber beads like the ones used in bean bags. Look for a cushion cover that can be dry cleaned.
