So, What’s the Deal with Scatter Cushions?
They’re not just for “finishing off a couch,” you know. A good scatter cushion can change the whole feel of a room. It’s that little design trick you didn’t realise you were missing until you add one (or three). And at Eya Home Living, we're not just selling cushions. We're curating pieces of African soul, stitched into fabric, made to live in your space, not just sit there.
Made by Hand. And Made to Matter.
Let’s be honest — it’s easy to go for mass-produced fluff. But it won’t feel the same. Our scatter cushions are handcrafted by skilled African artisans who’ve honed their craft over generations. You can feel it in the weight, the stitching, the texture of mudcloth and woven cotton.
There’s a story in every cushion. Not the "once upon a time" kind, but the kind that says: someone made this. Carefully. Proudly. And yes, it’s meant for your couch.
Patterns with Personality
Some cushions are just... cushions. Ours? They’ve got presence. From bold tribal geometry to soft earth-tone textures, each one brings something different to the table (or rather, the armrest).
Love colour? We’ve got it. Prefer something that blends quietly into your curated calm? That’s here too. And here's a thought mix them. Bold and quiet. Like good conversation.
Built for Real Life
Let’s keep it practical. You want style, but you also want to plop down with a book, sip your rooibos, and not worry about ruining some “art piece.”
We get that. These covers are made from strong, natural fabrics - cotton, hides, mudcloth and most are removable. Translation? You can actually wash them. No weird cleaning rituals. No stress.
Why Eya’s Scatter Cushions Just… Work
Honestly, it comes down to this:
- They're handmade. Not rolled off a factory line.
- They hold stories, cultural ones, not marketing fluff.
- They feel good. Not just pretty.
- They look right in any setting — minimalist or maximalist, modern or heritage.
- And yeah they last.
It’s comfort, craft, and cultural honesty stitched into a square. Or a rectangle. Depends on the size you go for.
Decorating Shouldn’t Feel Like a Design Exam
You don't need to overthink it. Throw a few cushions on the couch. Add one to your bed, your reading nook, your Airbnb lounge. Suddenly, the space feels finished. Or lived-in. Or warm. Or just a little more you.
And no, you don’t have to match them all. This isn’t a catalogue shoot. It’s your home. Let it breathe.
Still Wondering? Fair. Let’s Clear Things Up
What are scatter cushions anyway?
Think of them as design accents that double as comfort support. Light, easy to move, mood-changing in the best way.
Why choose Eya's?
Because ours are actually made by people. Not machines. And because they blend culture, comfort, and detail in a way that mass retailers don’t even try to match.
What are they made from?
Natural stuff: mudcloth, cotton, hides. We don’t do shiny synthetics that feel like hotel lobby leftovers.
Can I wash them?
Yep. Most covers come off and can be machine-washed or spot cleaned. Life’s messy cushions don’t have to be.
Do they work outdoors?
Some of them, yes, especially on covered patios or outdoor lounges. But give them a little shade. They’re tough, not invincible.
Custom orders yay or nay?
We do accept custom requests. Want a size or pattern that feels more like you? Let’s talk.
What sizes are available?
You’ll see plenty of 45x45cm and 60x60cm options. All dimensions are clearly listed on the product pages, so no guesswork needed.
Do you work with hotels or interior designers?
Absolutely. Our cushions have found homes in boutique lodges, stylish restaurants, and guesthouses across the country.
How do scatter cushions actually help my space?
They add visual interest, yes. But also warmth. Layers. Comfort. A sense that someone lives here. And that’s what really pulls a room together.
Final Thought
You don’t need a full home makeover. Sometimes, all it takes is a cushion or a few that actually mean something. Something made with purpose. Something you’ll still love five seasons from now.
That’s what you’ll find here.
