Cushioning the blow!


New data reveals homeowners are turning to soft furnishings to give their living spaces a revamp as we head in to 2024.


Using research from Pinterest, coastal-inspired homewares brands XV Stripes has seen interest in cushions soar 30 per cent over the last month.


Izzey Hung is the founder of XV Stripes. She said: “Cushions are a versatile homeware that are the perfect mix of form and function. From a comfort angle, they are ideal for some extra support when lounging around but from an aesthetic perspective, they can add colour, texture and style wherever they are placed.”


XV Stripes has a wide range of coastal-inspired cushions which will bring a touch of the ocean to every home. From cushions featuring hand-drawn yachting motifs to solid blocks of colour, the collection is inspired by life on and off the water at the brand’s home on the Isle of Wight.


All are made from sustainable cotton.


The cushions are available now from xvstripes.com with prices starting at £29.

About XVstripes

Inspired by a love of coastal living and the ocean, XV stripes captures the essence of laid back, sustainable luxe for your bedroom and home.

XV stripes was born from a meeting of minds. Founder Izzey Hung nurtured the desire to reflect her love of the ocean, and all things on it and under it – particularly the Isle of Wight & Hampshire – her home. When an intensive search failed to inspire her, with lack of sustainable quality products, she decided the time had come to follow her dream. XV stripes was born. An introduction to designer Vicky Sanders, Ex Head of Design at Matthew Williamson and Zara Home,  the creative process and story of XV began.
