Description

This is the Contra cushion in oxblood, a deep red velvet on the front with a linen-look neutral on the reverse. It measures 40 x 60cm, an oblong rather than a square, so it holds a shape a scatter cushion cannot: long enough to sit across the width of a bed or to fill the corner of a sofa without disappearing into the back. The face is a soft velvet pile that catches the light and shifts a shade as you move past it, while the back is a flat, pale woven texture that reads as calm and grounded. The two faces are made to be seen together, which is why the side view shows the red top meeting the pale base along a clean line.

It suits a bed used for layering, sat in front of the pillows and worked in with other textured cushions for depth. It is equally at home downstairs on an armchair or a sofa, where the velvet face brings warmth and the neutral reverse keeps it from shouting. Because one side is rich and one side is quiet, you can turn it to change the mood of a room without changing the cushion. The deep red reads well against dark wood, warm greys and other muted tones, and the pale reverse gives you a lighter option on the same piece.

The cover is made from 100% polyester, which means it is soft to the hand, holds its colour and resists shrinking, so it keeps its size and shape through use. It closes with a hidden zip, so the fastening stays out of sight and the front reads as a single clean panel. The edging is a simple standard finish that keeps the seam neat all the way round. Turn the velvet side out for a warmer look, or the linen-look reverse out for something plainer, and mix it with other cushions to build up a layered, textured display.

Frequently Asked

What is the front made of and how does it feel?

The front is a soft velvet pile made from 100% polyester, which gives it a smooth, warm hand and a surface that catches the light as you move past it.

Is the cushion the same on both sides?

No. The front is velvet in oxblood red and the reverse is a pale linen-look neutral, so you can turn it to suit a warmer or a plainer look in the room.

What size is this cushion and what shape?

It is an oblong measuring 40 x 60cm, longer than it is tall, which makes it well suited to sitting across a bed or filling the corner of a sofa.

How does the cover fasten?

It closes with a hidden zip, so the fastening sits out of sight along one edge and the velvet front stays clean and unbroken.

Will the polyester keep its shape and colour?

Polyester holds its colour and resists shrinking, so with normal use the cushion cover keeps its size and its deep red tone over time.

Reversible

Can I use either side facing out?

Yes, the two faces are made to be seen. Turn the velvet out for a rich red look or the linen-look reverse out for a quieter, more neutral effect.
