Description
This is a 45x45cm outdoor cushion printed with a hand-drawn coastal town: rows of houses, cottages and a little church, gable ends and windows all picked out in line drawing. One face carries the design in blue ink on a white ground; turn it over and the same town is drawn in white on a deep sail blue ground. Both faces are edged with a striped piped trim, so the seam is a finished detail rather than a plain join. The fabric is 100% polyester.
It is made for outdoor use, and that is the point of choosing it over an indoor cushion. Polyester woven for outdoors is described here as water resistant, which is why it earns a place on a patio bench, a garden chair or the seat of a conservatory sofa where an indoor cover would not last a season. The 45x45cm square is the standard scale for a chair or bench cushion, so it sits comfortably against most garden seating and layers well with plainer cushions in blue or white. The two-faced design means you can flip between a light look and a darker one depending on the day or the setting.
The print reads as a relaxed seaside sketch rather than a bold graphic, so it suits coastal and country schemes and sits happily with natural timber and rattan furniture. The piped edge follows the striped border you can see running round the cushion, tying the two faces together. Polyester is quick to shed water and does not hold damp the way a natural fibre would, which is what makes it sensible outside. Bring it in over winter and it will keep its colour and shape ready for the next season. It is a square 45x45cm, a size that pairs easily with larger scatter cushions.

Frequently Asked
Can this cushion stay outside?
It is made for outdoor use in a water-resistant polyester, so it suits patios, garden furniture and conservatories rather than being an indoor-only cushion.
What does reversible mean here?
Each face carries the same coastal town print, one in blue on white and the other in white on deep blue, so you can flip it for two different looks.
What size is the cushion?
It is a 45x45cm square, the standard scale for a chair or bench seat, and it layers well with larger scatter cushions in plain blue or white.
What is the edge finish?
The cushion is finished with a striped piped trim running around the seam, which frames both printed faces and adds a neat contrast border.
Is it made from a natural fibre?
No, it is 100% polyester, which sheds water quickly and does not hold damp the way cotton or linen would, so it copes better with the weather.
