Halo Fringed Velvet Plain Polyester Cushion - Caramel/Chocolate

The Halo Fringed Velvet Cushion pairs a plain caramel velvet face with a contrasting chocolate-brown fringe running the full way around the edge. It measures 50 x 50cm, the standard square size that most cushion pads and covers are built to, so it slots straight into an existing arrangement without leaving you hunting for an odd-sized insert. The velvet is polyester, which is what gives it that dense, light-catching pile you can see shifting across the face in the photographs, from a deeper amber in the folds to a brighter caramel where the light lands flat.

This is a sofa and armchair cushion first, and it earns its place through colour rather than pattern. The plain face means it sits happily against a printed throw or a patterned chair without competing, while the fringed edge gives it enough character to hold its own on a plain settee. It works well in a living room built around warm, earthy tones, and because the range comes in several tonal combinations, you can mix caramel here with another pairing elsewhere on the same sofa and let them play off each other. Drop one into a reading corner or across the head of a bed for the same warm, tactile effect.

The cover closes with a concealed zip, so the fastening disappears into the seam and the cover comes off cleanly when you want to freshen it. Polyester velvet holds its colour well and resists the fading and creasing that can trouble natural pile, which suits a cushion that gets sat against daily. The fringe is a trim rather than a woven-in edge, so handle it gently and it will keep its shape. If you like the caramel and chocolate together, look across the wider Halo range for the other colour combinations, which are made to be grouped.

What size cushion pad should I buy for this cover?

The cover is 50 x 50cm, the standard square size, so a 50cm pad fits. For a fuller look many people size up slightly to a 55cm pad.

Is the velvet real or synthetic?

The pile is polyester velvet, which gives a dense, colour-fast finish that holds up to daily use and resists the creasing you sometimes get with natural pile.

How does the cover come off?

There is a concealed zip set into the seam, so the fastening stays hidden and the cover slips off easily when you want to take it away for cleaning.

Can I mix this with the other colours in the range?

Yes. The Halo range comes in several tonal combinations designed to be grouped, so caramel and chocolate sits well beside the other pairings on the same sofa.

What colour is the cushion?

The face is a warm caramel velvet and the fringe around the edge is a darker chocolate brown, giving a clear two-tone contrast between body and trim.

Will the fringe hold its shape?

The fringe is a trim applied to the edge rather than woven in, so treat it gently and it will keep its form and drape over time.
