Adding contrasting textiles and brightly coloured cushions is a quick and easy way to jazz up dull outdoor spaces.

Shoppers with an eye for style are loving a £25 Set of 2 Bird Print Outdoor Cushions from Marks and Spencer that serve up Arts and Crafts vibes to brighten garden benches. Costing £12.50 each, the water-resistant cushions with a tropical aesthetic could easily be mistaken for more expensive designer cushions.

Similar in design to the Alexandra Farmer Indoor/Outdoor Pillow from Anthropologie they are a fraction of the £58 per cushion price tag. The retro-style cushions wouldn't look out of place indoors either, making it easy to stash them away when the weather turns.

Adding a delicious pop of colour to the garden, Marks and Spencer's customers who have already got their hands on the cushions have been quick to leave five-star reviews.

One happy shopper said: "These are just lovely. Beautifully designed, bright and cheerful and fit the chairs perfectly. Looking forward to warmer weather to bring them into use."

A second added: "Beautiful vivid outdoor cushions that are well made and stylish."

Another customer who agrees that they look great inside, said: "These caught my eye online so I sent for just a pair to see if they were really as stunning for real - and they absolutely were! Just fabulous and brought my grey and black garden sofa to life, so I quickly ordered another pair because these are going to run out of stock for sure. They also look great indoors as "scatters" on my black furniture, I just love them. Great quality and great price, what's not to love."

However, one shopper wasn't overly pleased: "Lovely colourful cushions and very good quality. Would have given 5 stars but the labels have been sewn into the side seam of the cushion on the side so takes away from the look. Will have to try and unstitch them somehow."

Featuring a print of vibrant birds nestled amid tropical florals on both sides, the cushions are complemented by a strikingly colourful Ikat pattern. The Marks and Spencer outdoor collection also offers a range of coordinated pieces, including the Ikat Pom Pom Outdoor Cushion (£15) and a set of two Geometric Outdoor Cushions (£25).
