Description
The Bloomsbury cushion is worked in a cut velvet with an abstract geometric pattern, so the surface reads as a raised mosaic of soft cells rather than a flat print. The pile catches the light differently across the face, which is why the mustard tone shifts from deep amber in the shadows to a brighter gold where the light falls. It is a square cushion, 50 x 50cm, in 100% polyester velvet, finished with a piped edge and a plain velvet reverse.
A cushion this size is the workhorse of a sofa or a bed: large enough to sit against and read the pattern from across the room, but not so large it swamps a two-seater. The cut texture on the front and the smooth plain reverse give you two faces to work with, so you can turn it to show the pattern when you want interest or the plain side when you want calm. It sits comfortably against darker upholstery, where the warm gold lifts a navy or charcoal seat, and it pairs happily with other cushions in flat weaves or bouclé.
The whole cushion is polyester velvet, which is why it feels soft and dense and holds its colour well without the fading you can get from natural dyes. The piped trim runs the full perimeter and helps the cushion keep a crisp square shape rather than going soft at the corners, and a hidden zip lets you take the cover off. Polyester velvet is hard-wearing and springs back after use, which suits a cushion that gets leaned on daily. Turn it front or back to change the look through the year.

Frequently Asked
What is the cushion made from?
It is 100% polyester velvet, both the patterned front and the plain reverse, which gives a soft dense pile that holds its colour well and wears hard.
Does the cover come off for cleaning?
Yes, there is a hidden zip along one edge so you can remove the cover from the pad when you need to.
Is the pattern printed or woven into the fabric?
The abstract geometric design is a cut velvet, so the raised cells are formed in the pile itself rather than printed on the surface.
What size is the cushion?
It is a 50 by 50cm square, a versatile size that suits both a sofa and the head of a bed.
Can I use both sides?
You can. The front carries the cut velvet pattern and the reverse is a smooth plain velvet, so you can turn it to suit the mood.
