Don’t buy a new couch – I’m serious. I came to this conclusion while scrolling Anthropologie this week – admittedly, for couches. Whimsical ones. (It’s 2026; who isn’t?) But a $158 price tag, in lieu of the usual eye-watering three-to-five thousand, stopped me in my tracks.
I found myself distracted by a cream cotton sofa topper, trimmed with a ruffled border and scattered with technicolor antique florals. It’s essentially the romantic, slightly enchanted sofa trend I’ve always wanted – frilly, but not overly so – distilled into a single cushion that runs the length of the seat, instantly waking up whatever (probably sleepy) seating situation you already have.
