The Tartan Tree Cushion That Brings a Highland Christmas Home.

Charmed House Interiors · Textiles

Cut into the cheerful silhouette of a little Christmas tree and worked in a classic red tartan, this cushion is heritage charm at its most playful. The traditional check — red, navy, cream, and a thread of yellow — carries all the warmth of a country-house Christmas, while the shaped tree form makes it a decorative object as much as a comfort. It's the piece that turns a sofa or an armchair into part of the festive scheme.

Style note — the sofa: Prop it upright in a corner so the tree shape reads clearly against a plain cushion behind.

Style note — the bench: Sit it on an entryway bench or window seat as a charming, shaped welcome.

Two Ways to Style It

Propped on a traditional sofa, warm and heritage. Stand it against solid red or forest-green cushions so the tree silhouette is clearly defined. The tartan brings that cosy, tartan-blanket-and-log-fire feeling — a natural partner to plaid throws and anything in classic Christmas red.

Perched on an entry bench, charming and characterful. Set it upright on a hallway bench or window seat, perhaps beside a lantern and a pair of boots. As a shaped cushion it works almost like a soft sculpture — a warm, welcoming detail that greets everyone who comes through the door.
