A well-placed scatter cushion is an easy, inexpensive way to update and spruce up your space.

We love these bold, quirky prints available right now. A nugget of advice from us: Remember that the scatter’s truest function is to afford comfort, to fill the gap between the hollow of the back and the sofa or to soften the armrest. The trick is not to overstuff your scatter cushions until they stand up straight, but to gently fill them with duck down to give them that comfortable lived-in look and feel.
