Evergreen Velvet Cotton Cushion - Green

The Evergreen cushion carries an embroidered scene across a soft velvet face: slender fir trees worked in shaded greens, with small pale dots scattered between them like falling snow. The ground is a gentle mint green and the reverse is a plain bottle green velvet, so the cushion reads as a quiet piece rather than a loud festive one. It measures 43 x 43cm, the standard square that suits most sofas and beds. The trees are genuinely embroidered rather than printed, which you can see in the raised, directional stitching that gives each branch its texture.

This is a piece for the living room through the colder months, sitting well on a neutral sofa or an armchair where the embroidery catches the light. The two-tone green works with cream, natural linen shades and warm wood, and because the pattern is understated it stays comfortable in a room well past the Christmas weeks. Layer it with plainer cushions to let the stitched trees do the talking, or group two together at either end of a longer sofa. It suits anyone who wants a nod to the season without a scene that has to come down in January.

The cover is finished with a knife edge trim and a hidden zip, so the closure sits out of sight and the cover comes off for cleaning. The velvet is soft to the touch and the embroidery sits proud of the surface, so handle it gently around the stitched areas. The supplier tells us this design can be paired with a coordinating brushed cotton duvet cover set from the wider Evergreen range if you want the look to carry through to the bed. On its own it is a self-contained cushion cover with a zip opening, ready to dress a chair or sofa for the season.

What is the cushion made of?

The cover is 100% polyester with a velvet finish, which gives it a soft hand and a hard-wearing surface that holds the embroidery well.

Is the pattern printed or embroidered?

The trees and dots are embroidered, so the stitching sits raised above the velvet and the branches have a visible directional texture rather than a flat printed look.

Does the cover come off?

Yes, there is a hidden zip fastening along one edge, so the cover slips off the pad easily for cleaning and the zip stays out of view.

What size is it and where does it fit?

It is a 43 x 43cm square, the common size that works on most sofas, armchairs and beds without looking too small or too large.

What does the reverse look like?

The back is a plain bottle green velvet with no pattern, so you can turn it over for a solid darker green if you want a change from the embroidered face.

Can I match it to other pieces?

The supplier notes this design coordinates with a brushed cotton duvet cover set in the wider Evergreen range, for a matching festive look across the room and bed.
