Cervino Jacquard Cotton Blend Cushion - Rednut

The Cervino cushion carries a jacquard woven floral design across a cream ground, with a trailing leaf pattern picked out in reds, rusts, pinks and soft greens. Because the pattern is jacquard woven rather than printed, the leaves and stems are formed in the weave itself, so the colour runs through the cloth and the design has a raised, tactile quality you can feel as well as see. The face and back are both a blend of 53% cotton and 47% viscose, a mix that gives the cotton's easy handle a little extra sheen and drape from the viscose. It measures 50 x 50cm, the standard square that most cushion pads are sold to fit.

A square cushion of this size sits comfortably at the corner of a sofa or against the arm of an armchair, and works equally well propped against pillows on a bed. The warm autumnal palette suits a room with natural wood, cream upholstery and neutral walls, and the leaf motif reads as country rather than formal, so it settles into a relaxed living room or a snug rather than a showpiece setting. Grouped with plainer cushions in cream, red or green, it gives a layered look without competing with itself.

The edge is finished with a dense fringed trim in red, run right around the four sides, which frames the pattern and gives the cushion a defined, upholstered look. A concealed zip along one side lets you remove the cover, and the closure sits out of sight so the fringe reads as a clean border. The cotton and viscose blend keeps the cover soft to the touch while holding its shape through everyday use. It shares the Cervino name with a matching curtain in the same leaf pattern, if you want to carry the design across the window as well as the seating.

What size pad should I buy for this cushion?

The cover measures 50 x 50cm, so a 50cm square pad fits it well. Many people size up slightly to a larger pad for a fuller, plumper look.

Is the pattern printed or woven into the fabric?

It is jacquard woven, which means the floral design is formed within the weave rather than printed on top, giving the leaves a raised, textured feel and colour that runs through the cloth.

What is the cover made from?

Both the front and back are a blend of 53% cotton and 47% viscose. The cotton gives an easy, soft handle and the viscose adds a little sheen and drape.

Does the cover come off for cleaning?

Yes, there is a concealed zip along one side, so you can remove the cover from the pad when you need to.

Where does this cushion work best?

The warm leaf pattern and fringed edge suit a relaxed living room, snug or bedroom, and it sits happily alongside plainer cushions in cream, red or green.

Is there a matching curtain?

Yes, the Cervino leaf pattern is also available as a curtain in the same design, so you can carry the look from the seating to the window.
