In this feature Neha Agarwal describes how she uses cushions in her living room for a spot of cheerful yet flexible summer decor that does not cost a bomb!With the sun shining down upon us with all its might most people prefer cooling their heels indoors, and I am pretty excited about accessorizing my staid couch with happy, bright, sunny colors!

Large impact on decor

Cushions are simple additions that have a large impact on decor

And its actually quite simple. I just add a few brightly hued cushions and I am done! A combination of two or more different sized tropical cushions contrasts the beige sofa and the muted, neutral curtains on the living room window.

Like me, you too can source brightly printed or embroidered cushions from better home decor stores.

On the other end of the living room, are two beige sofa chairs with printed, Kantha embroidered cushions that offset the ones on the 3-seater sofa.

The hand-embroidered Kantha work fuchsia cushions are sourced from one of my favorite exhibition stalls in the city. Intricate Kantha thread-work in various hues and the exuberant prints give the fuchsia cushions a traditional yet modern feel. Cushions give me the flexibility to change the look of my living room easily, and at very little cost, so I can match the decor to the seasons. These are my "Hello Summer" cushions!
