Shoparound: Splash out on a bit of colour to give a fresh new look to your bedroom and livingroom. Bold and brazen prints and seriously textured fabrics are hot in the cushion and throw stakes this season.

Check out the new Zanzibar range from Pier in Roches Stores. Cushions come in an exotic mix of tribal prints and vibrant patterns, with lots of attitude and texture.

Colours such as paprika, fuchsia, and aqua combine to create a stunning ethnic feel. Cushions are priced from €22.

Also new to Pier this season is the Geisha range inspired by Japanese style and design. The colour palette is feminine and elegant, including sage and spring greens, rose, dusty pink, lavender, heather, primrose, mink, stone and black.
