A FRESH LOOK AT
NEEDLEPOINT CUSHION DESIGNS
‘No, No!’ you’re saying, 'Not another needlepoint design site with the same old cushion designs!'
I know! I’ve looked at them too! Too many roses that look like cabbages! Too many tacky landscapes! Too many cute bunnies!
Not what I want in my home and not what I would design for my clients.
So the problem you face isn’t with needlepoint cushions; it’s with needlepoint designers!
Cushions do have a place in your home.
Needlepoint cushions can provide a chic and inexpensive accent to ‘spruce up’ any room, from living rooms and dining rooms to kitchens and bedrooms.
Decorative pillows can give a room a specific style or a splash of colour, which can complete the ‘look’ you want.

ARTS AND CRAFTS DESIGNS
Arts and Crafts Cushion Designs
Well-known British designers from the ARTS and CRAFTS MOVEMENT…
namely,William Morris, Gavin Morton and C.F.A. Voysey ….
inspired these Arts and Crafts cushion designs from ZIVA.
We have created two matching cushion designs to complement our Arts and Crafts Area Rugs.
PLUS we are introducing a cushion design, “DONNEMARA FALL” (above), adapted from a series of textile and carpet designs by iconic British architect and designer, Charles F. A. Voysey.
ABSTRACT DESIGNS
Large bold cushion designs inspired by the iconic design movements of the 20th century… and yours to stitch!
Perfect accents for today’s contemporary interiors.
From the 1920’s and 1930’s, I’ve created 6 dynamic needlepoint designs adapted from:
- the Bauhaus School of Architecture and Decorative Arts and
- the Glasgow School of Art, including Scottish architect, Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
From the 1940’s and 1950’s, I’ve chosen two artists I admire, namely Matisse and Morris Louis, to create two very distinctive cushion designs.
Cushion Designs inspired by the BAUHAUS
Choose from four bold graphic cushion designs in a range of primary colours to add a dramatic accent to your home.
Large, easy-to-stitch designs from spirals to geometric patterns, give you an eye-catching selection.
Great designs for the beginner!
Cushion Designs inspired by MACKINTOSH
I’ve created two dynamic cushion designs based on the textile designs of iconic architect and designer, Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
He added bold colours to his abstract shapes of zigzags and waves, with consistent use of black to produce dramatic contrast, characteristic of much of the design of the Jazz Age
Cushion Design inspired by MATISSE’S CUT-OUTS
A delicate and rhythmic cushion design adapted from Matisse’s mid-20th century modernism period when he created his sometimes whimsical, sometimes bold, graphic cut-outs
Cushion Design inspired by the PAINTER, MORRIS LOUIS
Abstract Expressionist artist Morris Louis created massive paintings with flat, intense colors in strong, repetitive patterns.
This large cushion, inspired by one of his paintings, is perfect for your contemporary home!
TRADITIONAL PERSIAN DESIGNS
Tabriz Cushion
This adaptation of a classic Tabriz design creates an elegant cushion for a contemporary interior to complement the needlepoint seat cover on a piano bench.
Khosro Cushion Designs
I created two cushion designs from an old Khosro Persian carpet for a client’s small contemporary living room:
A successful mix of periods and cultures.
Its classic neutral colours could work in your home as well.
MODERNIST DESIGNS
Abstractionist Art Movements from the early 20th century have inspired these Modernist cushion designs from ZIVA.
Three designs have been created in a 1920’s painterly style, and one (at right) has been adapted from decorative panelling from a very famous train from the same era!
ART NOUVEAU DESIGNS
Narcissus Cushion and Bolster
I designed this charming cushion, with matching bolster, in an Art Nouveau style to complement a client’s 19th century daybed.

The subtle mauves and neutral colours of this Art Nouveau design blend into any interior.
With its repetitive pattern,it’s ideal for needlepoint cushions, seat covers, chair pads etc.
