It's confession time; I'm a cushion addict. I've got a stash of cushions stored away that have been used and loved for years, but that I can't bring myself to get rid of. One of the reasons I love cushions so much is that they're an easy and affordable way to bring color, design and pattern into a room. Carefully selected cushions can bring an interior design scheme together; they can update a room, or start to create a new look in a tired room. There are some gorgeous cushions available. Here are 20 of my current favorites!
