COVERED IN SOFTNESS
A much-loved woollen blanket that is no longer in use can be transformed into a comfortable cushion for a plain kitchen stool, so that its treasured heritage, colours and patterns can continue to be enjoyed. The cushion edges can be embellished with ribbon to create a fringed effect or left bare for a more homely feel. Here, cushions made from a tartan blanket, including shades of orange-red and forest green, complement the terracotta flooring of a country kitchen setting. Different blankets can be used to create particular effects or to bring the colours of the changing seasons indoors.
