This Bluebellgrey cushion is the perfect way to add a pop of vibrant colour to your space. It's made from soft velvet and features blanket stitching around the edges. The square cushion is filled with a plump insert for a premium feel.
Our Stylist Says
I love this cushion for its rich velvet texture and subtle lilac hue, making it a versatile addition to both modern and classic interiors. It works particularly well styled in cosy living rooms or bedrooms that feature soft furnishings and muted colour palettes. The stitch detail adds a touch of craftsmanship, while the playful pom-pom edging brings a bit of fun to more sophisticated settings. Practical styling tips include layering it with other cushions in complementary tones or textures, and placing it on a neutral sofa or bed to add colour without overwhelming the space. Its plush velvet surface also makes it an inviting option for adding comfort and visual interest to your décor.

About Marks & Spencer
History and Expansion
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
Clothing & Home Business Endeavours
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Sustainability and Innovations
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
