Description
This is the Christmas Spirit cushion, a 30 x 50cm bolster printed with a festive town scene on a soft snow-flecked ground. Look closely and there is plenty to find: a chocolate box row of shopfronts, decorated trees, a little car with a tree strapped to its roof and windows lit warm yellow against the winter sky. The front is printed velvet; the reverse is a plain velvet in a deep Santa Claus red, finished with a piped trim that runs the whole way round the edge. It is made from 100% polyester.
The long, low bolster shape suits a sofa or an armchair better than a square cushion does, sitting comfortably across the small of your back or propped at one end of a settee. At 30 x 50cm it works as the front layer in a group, with plainer cushions stacked behind it, and the red piped edge picks up naturally against a green or cream sofa. It is a seasonal piece, brought out for the festive weeks and put away again, so it earns its place by being the one thing in the room that rewards a second look.
Polyester velvet is chosen here for a reason: it holds a printed design crisply, keeps its soft hand after handling, and stands up to being moved about a busy room through December. The cover closes with a hidden zip, so the pad slips in and out without breaking the line of the piping. The Christmas Spirit range runs beyond the cushion, with a duvet cover set, a door stop and a draught excluder printed in the same town scene, should you want to carry the look further through the house.

Frequently Asked
What is the cushion made from?
It is made from 100% polyester, with a printed velvet front and a plain velvet reverse in Santa Claus red, so the whole cover is soft to the touch.
How is the cover fastened?
The cover closes with a hidden zip along one edge, which keeps the piped trim unbroken and lets you take the pad out easily.
What size is this cushion?
It measures 30 x 50cm, a long bolster shape rather than a square, which suits sitting across the back of a sofa or an armchair.
Is the design on both sides?
No. The printed town scene is on the front only, and the reverse is a plain deep red velvet with a piped edge running around it.
Does it come with a pad or just the cover?
Please check the listing for what is included, as cushions are sometimes sold as a cover and sometimes complete with a filled pad.
Can I use it as part of a group of cushions?
Yes, the bolster shape works well as the front layer with plainer square cushions stacked behind it on a sofa.
