Country Animal Linen Cushion - Multi

This is a 43 x 43cm cushion printed with a hand-painted design of bumble bees in flight among clover heads and slender flowering stems. The front carries the full print on a linen-look ground; the reverse, as the photographs show, is the same plain woven fabric without the pattern. It is made from a polyester and linen blend, with the composition given two ways in the record, so read the specification below with that in mind. The square format and the busy, evenly repeated motif make it an easy piece to place rather than a single focal design.

A 43 x 43cm square is the standard sofa and armchair cushion size, so it drops straight onto most seating without hunting for an odd pad. The soft floral and insect print suits a relaxed, country-leaning room: a linen sofa, a painted window seat, a bedroom chair. As the grouped photograph shows, it belongs to a wider family of Country Bee Garden cushions in different ground colours, so you can sit this multi-coloured version alongside the pink and the ochre if you want a gathered, layered look on a bench or bed.

Construction is straightforward and practical. The cover closes with a hidden zip, so the pad comes out for cleaning and the fastening stays out of sight, and it is finished with a plain knife edge rather than piping or a flange, which keeps the outline clean and the print the point of interest. It is designed, printed and made in the United Kingdom. Style it plain-side-out when you want a quiet neutral and print-side-out when you want the bees on show, and pair it with plain textured cushions in cream or soft pink to let the design breathe.

Is this cushion patterned on both sides?

No. The bumble bee and floral print is on the front only. The reverse is the same plain linen-look fabric with no pattern, as shown in the photographs.

What size pad does it take?

The cover measures 43 x 43cm, which is the standard square cushion size, so a 43cm or 45cm pad will fill it comfortably for a plump finish.

Does the cover come off for cleaning?

Yes. There is a hidden zip closure along one edge, so you can slip the inner pad out whenever you need to launder or freshen the cover.

What is the cushion made from?

It is a polyester and linen blend with a linen-look woven ground. The blend gives it a natural texture while staying hard-wearing for everyday use on seating.

Can I buy it in other colours to match?

Yes. It belongs to the Country Bee Garden family of cushions, which comes in other ground colours including a soft pink and a warm ochre for layering together.

It suits a relaxed country or cottage-style room, sitting well on a linen sofa, a painted window seat or a bedroom chair alongside plainer textured cushions.
