Description
The Fiesta cushion is a plain velvet cover with a hidden zip closure and a row of soft pompoms running along its edges. This one measures 35 x 50cm, a rectangular bolster shape rather than a square, which is the size that fills the small of your back on a sofa or props you up against a headboard. The body is a deep duck egg green with pompoms in a contrasting natural sand tone, so the trim reads clearly against the velvet without shouting. Velvet is a pile fabric, which is why it catches the light differently as you move past it, looking darker or brighter depending on the angle.
A rectangular cushion earns its place where a square would overwhelm. It sits well at the corner of a sofa, layered in front of larger scatter cushions, or on a bed as the front piece in a stack. The duck egg green is a quiet, cool colour that works alongside warm neutrals, deeper greens and natural wood, and the sandy pompoms tie it to linen and jute textures. It suits a living room that wants a little texture and a little play without a busy pattern, and the plain face means it does not compete with anything patterned nearby.
The cover is 100% polyester, which is what makes it hard-wearing and resistant to staining, a sensible choice for a cushion that gets handled and leaned on daily. The pompom trim is the reason this cover is not machine washable, so treat it gently. It can be ironed if the velvet needs refreshing. The hidden zip runs along one edge and keeps the closure out of sight so the pompoms stay the only detail your eye lands on. Style it against plainer cushions to let the trim do the talking, or group it with other textured pieces for a relaxed, tactile finish.

Frequently Asked
What is the cover made from?
The cover is 100% polyester velvet, which gives it a soft pile that catches the light and makes it hard-wearing enough for daily use on a sofa or bed.
Can I put this cushion cover in the washing machine?
No, it is not machine washable because of the pompom trim. Take care with it and refresh the velvet with an iron when needed rather than washing.
What size is this cushion and what does it suit?
It measures 35 x 50cm, a rectangular shape that works well as a bolster at the corner of a sofa or as the front cushion in a layered stack on a bed.
How does the cover fasten?
There is a hidden zip along one edge, so the closure stays out of sight and the pompoms remain the only visible detail on the cushion.
Does the velvet change colour in the light?
Velvet is a pile fabric, so it reflects light differently depending on the angle you view it from, appearing a little darker or brighter as you move.
