Chinoiserie Floral Velvet Cushion - Gold

This is a 50x50cm cushion cover printed with a bright chinoiserie scene: vibrant pink and magenta flowers, trailing branches and two blue birds set against a rich golden-yellow ground. The fabric is a soft velvet-feel polyester, and the front is finished with a pink piped edge that traces all four sides. A hidden zip along one edge keeps the closure out of view so the print stays the focus. As a square 50cm cover, it sits in the standard scatter size that most cushion pads are made to, which makes finding a replacement filler straightforward.

A cushion this bold does its best work as a single accent rather than one of a matched row. Drop it onto a plainer sofa or a neutral armchair and the yellow ground lifts the whole seat; it also reads well against darker upholstery, where the pink piping and the birds stand out. It suits a living room that already has some pattern and colour going on, and it earns its place in a busy home because the polyester face is hard-wearing and, per the supplier, does not stain easily, which is worth knowing if children or pets share the sofa.

The cover is made from 100% polyester with a velvet feel, so it holds a printed image crisply and resists creasing better than a natural fibre would. The contrasting pink piping is a sewn trim that defines the edge and helps the cushion keep its shape. Care is simple: machine wash at 30 degrees, lay flat to dry and press with a cool iron for the best finish. If you like this print, the golden ground makes it an easy partner for solid pinks, greens or plain gold accents already in the room.

Does this cushion come with a filler pad?

The listing is for the cover, which closes with a hidden zip. It fits a standard 50x50cm cushion pad, so you can add or reuse a filler of that size.

What does the velvet-feel fabric actually mean?

The face is 100% polyester woven to give a soft, brushed velvet-feel surface. It is not a natural velvet, but it takes a printed image crisply and feels smooth to the touch.

Is it suitable for a home with children or pets?

The supplier describes the polyester as hard-wearing and says it does not stain easily, which makes it a sensible choice for a busy, well-used sofa.

How do I wash and dry it?

Machine wash the cover at 30 degrees, lay it flat to dry rather than tumbling, and use a cool iron for the smoothest finish before you put the pad back in.

What colours does the design use?

The print sets bright pink and deep magenta flowers and blue birds against a golden-yellow background, with a contrasting pink piped edge running around the front.
