Price History
Description
Add a luxurious finishing touch to your decor with this velvet scatter cushion from William Morris At Home. It's made in a square shape and a versatile medium size. The placement design on the front shows an African Marigold motif inspired by Morris's original painting and is complemented by a plain backing. A piped trim creates a neat look, while the pad is filled with soft, yielding feathers.
Our Stylist Says
I love this William Morris cushion for adding a touch of classic elegance with a contemporary twist. The vibrant African Marigold colour brings warmth, while the velvet fabric adds a luxurious feel. It works particularly well in eclectic or traditional interiors, where its rich hues can complement floral or botanical themes. For styling tips, try pairing it with neutral or muted textiles to let the cushion stand out as a focal point, or mix with other colours from the same palette for a layered look. It’s versatile enough to sit on sofas, armchairs, or even an ottoman, providing both comfort and visual interest.

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.
