Connie Striped Linen Cushion - Olive

The Connie cushion is a rectangular ruffle-edged cushion measuring 35 by 50cm, worked in a linen-blend cloth of 85% polyester and 15% linen. Its face carries a printed stripe: broad bands of olive green running the length of a soft oatmeal ground, framed all the way round by a gathered ruffle trim in the pale ground colour. That linen content brings a genuine slubbed texture to the weave, the small irregularities you can see across the fabric in close-up, while the polyester majority does the hard-wearing work of holding shape and colour through everyday use.

A cushion of this size sits well as a lumbar or scatter cushion on a sofa, a reading chair or the head of a bed, where the long rectangle supports the lower back rather than filling a seat. The olive-and-oatmeal palette is quiet enough to sit alongside existing neutrals and warm woods, and the ruffle gives it a relaxed cottage feel rather than a formal one. It works in a layered arrangement of mixed cushions or on its own as a single accent, and the neutral ground means it will not fight with a patterned throw or a plain linen sofa.

The cover is double-sided, so the printed stripe reads the same whichever way it is turned, and a zip closure runs along one edge for straightforward removal of the cover from its pad. The ruffle is a gathered strip of the same cloth, softening the outline and catching the light along each edge. If you are dressing a room in warm, muted tones, the Connie layers happily with plain cushions and textured throws to build up depth without adding weight.

What is the cushion made from?

The cloth is a linen blend of 85% polyester and 15% linen, which gives it a slubbed linen-look texture while the polyester keeps it hard-wearing and helps it hold its shape.

Is the cover removable for cleaning?

Yes. A zip closure runs along one edge, so you can slip the cover off the pad whenever you need to freshen it or launder it separately.

What size is this cushion and where does it suit?

It measures 35 by 50cm, a lumbar shape that supports the lower back well on a sofa or reading chair, or sits neatly at the head of a bed.

Does the pattern show on both sides?

It does. The cover is double-sided, so the same olive-on-oatmeal printed stripe reads whichever way the cushion is turned, giving you flexibility in how you style it.

What colours does it work with?

The olive green and oatmeal ground sit comfortably with warm neutrals, natural woods and other muted tones, making it easy to layer with plain cushions and textured throws.
