I was planning a roundup of cushions of all styles but I kept coming across each these wonderful examples motivated by one of my favorite things: typography. But letters in decor are not just for layout nerds like me. Depending on the design you choose, they can add a playful touch to any style of room — whether it is rustic, traditional, retro or contemporary. — Alicia from Allergic Sort A
