In need of a low-effort way to add a charming pop of personality to your home?

With cheeky messaging and vibrant colours, it’s hard not to fall in love with the small-but-mighty needlepoint cushions when decorating your home. For some, the idea of needlepoint may conjure up images of ancient European, but the formerly aristocratic hobby is now more accessible than ever. Treat yourself to one for your favourite couch or chair with these local finds, or take it one step further by purchasing a DIY kit and crafting your own.

Needlepoint is gaining popularity as a way to practise mindfulness, with the structured holes in the canvas providing a somewhat simple guide. Add a personal touch to your home by creating something uniquely you, or buy a cushion that will make guests laugh and say, “That is so you!”
