Description
The Carmon Stripe cushion pairs a striped face with a plain reverse, so one cushion gives you two looks. The front carries relaxed vertical stripes in a soft blue against a natural cream ground, while the back is a plain oatmeal weave. Around the whole edge runs a gathered ruffle trim in the same striped fabric, which gives the cushion its soft, informal outline. It is made from a blend of 85% polyester and 15% linen, a mix chosen for a linen-look texture that keeps the everyday hard-wearing quality of a polyester-rich cloth. The cover measures 40 x 60cm, a generous rectangular shape rather than a square.
A rectangular cushion this size sits well at the back of a sofa or an armchair, where it supports the lower back rather than just filling a corner. On a bed it works as a lumbar cushion in front of your pillows. Because the stripe is calm and the palette soft, it settles happily alongside plain linens, other stripes and gentle neutrals, and the plain reverse means you can flip it for a quieter face when the mood changes. The muted blue reads as a coastal or country tone that suits a relaxed rather than a formal scheme.
The cover fastens with a zip, so it comes off easily for cleaning and goes back on cleanly with no gaping opening. The ruffle is cut from the striped fabric and gathered all round, and the striped and plain panels are joined at a seamed edge that the frill sits proud of. Style it as a single accent against plainer cushions, or build a layered arrangement mixing the striped face and the plain reverse across a pair. The blend gives you a linen character with a little more resilience for a cushion in daily use.
