Travelling - Cushion Research 05/12/14

After looking at wallpaper I looked in shops/websites at Cushions, another well-known homeware item. I was impressed with what I found on Cushions and I am still finding more and more. This is great research for me as once I have done all my market research in different sectors of homeware on travelling I can really see what is a popular theme and what sells well, and analyse what I like and dislike.

Cushions I have currently found:

A theme I noticed with these cushions is that like the wallpaper theme, New York, London and Paris are very common and popular in design. In particular the Eiffel Tower in Paris is a well-known landmark and an attractive design which companies and designers will know that it will sell well.
