Description
This is a grey velvet-effect cushion carrying a printed bee design in gold. The rectangular front shows three bees in a row; the square size shows a single larger bee. The pile is polyester faux-velvet, which gives that soft, slightly brushed hand and the faint sheen you can see catching the light across the front in the photographs. The reverse is plain grey with no pattern, so the cushion can be turned print-side down for a quieter look or print-side up to lead a scheme.
The rectangular cushion measures 30 x 50cm and the square measures 43 x 43cm, so you can choose between a lumbar shape that sits low against the back of a sofa and a standard square that fills a corner. A row of these looks at home on a bed, layered in front of the pillows, or worked into a mix of cushions on a settee. The grey ground is dark enough to sit against most upholstery, and the gold print does the talking, so it suits a room where you want one considered detail rather than a busy pattern.
The cover is made from 100% polyester and finished with a plain reverse, a standard knife edge and a hidden zip closure, so the zip stays out of sight and the cushion can be taken off its pad. Polyester holds its colour well and shrugs off the everyday knocks a cushion takes, which is why it earns its place on a sofa in daily use. The bee design is printed rather than woven, so treat the printed face gently. Pair it with plainer cushions in the same grey or in warm neutrals to let the gold sit forward.

Frequently Asked
What is the cushion cover made from?
The cover is 100% polyester with a soft faux-velvet face, which gives a brushed hand and a light sheen while standing up to everyday use on a sofa or bed.
Which size should I choose?
The rectangular cushion is 30 x 50cm, a lumbar shape for the small of your back, and the square is 43 x 43cm, a standard size that fills a corner well.
Does the cover come off for cleaning?
Yes. There is a hidden zip closure along one edge, so you can take the cover off the pad and put it back on without the zip showing.
Is the same design on both sides?
No. The bee is printed on the front only and the reverse is a plain grey, so you can turn the cushion to show the print or keep it plain.
Is the bee printed or embroidered?
The bee is a printed design rather than stitched, so it sits flush with the velvet face. Treat the printed area gently to keep it looking its best.
