Galaxy Eyelet Chenille Cushion - Copper

The Galaxy cushion is a 50 x 50cm square worked in yarn-dyed chenille. The face is a dark base shot through with copper-orange, and the yarn-dyed method means the colour runs through each fibre rather than sitting on the surface, so the shade stays even as the pile catches the light. A close look shows glinting golden highlights woven into the mix, which is what gives the cloth its depth rather than a flat single colour. A contrasting piped trim runs the full edge, and the whole thing is reversible, so the same rich face shows whichever way you turn it.

This is a cushion for a room with some warmth to it. The deep copper reads beautifully against dark walls and moody, saturated interiors, and it sits particularly well on a navy or teal sofa where the two colours play off each other. It works equally on a reading chair, a bench seat or piled with others on a bed. If you are dressing a whole scheme, the same Galaxy cloth is made up as eyelet curtains, so a window and a seat can be pulled together in one fabric. Chenille has a soft, dense hand that makes it as pleasant to lean on as it is to look at.

The cushion is made from 100% polyester, which is hard-wearing, holds its shape and shrugs off everyday knocks better than many natural fibres, useful on something handled daily. A hidden zip closure keeps the fastening out of sight and lets you take the cover off when needed. The piped edge gives the cushion a crisp, defined outline and helps it hold a plump square shape on a seat. To style it, lean into contrast: set the copper against blues and greens, or group it with other jewel tones for a layered, tonal finish.

What is chenille and how does it feel?

Chenille is a woven fabric with a soft, fuzzy pile that catches the light. It gives this cushion a dense, plush hand that is comfortable to lean against.

Does the cover come off for cleaning?

Yes, there is a hidden zip closure along one edge, so you can remove the cover from the pad whenever you need to.

What does reversible mean on this cushion?

Can I match it to curtains?

What colour is it?
