Halo Fringed Velvet Plain Polyester Cushion - Dark Red/Fir Green

The Halo Fringed Velvet Cushion is a plain velvet square finished with a fringed trim in a contrasting colour. This one pairs a deep dark red velvet face with a fir green fringe running right around the edge, so the two shades sit against each other rather than blending. It is made from 100% polyester, and it measures 50 x 50cm, the size most scatter cushions and standard cushion pads are cut to.

A 50 x 50cm square is the workhorse of the sofa: large enough to lean into, small enough to group two or three along a three-seater without crowding. The plain velvet face means this cushion carries colour rather than pattern, so it sits happily next to patterned pieces without competing, and the fringed edge gives it a bit of movement where a plain piped cushion would sit flat. Dark red and fir green is a natural fit for a warm living room, a reading chair or a bed dressed for winter.

Velvet has a directional pile, so the face catches light differently depending on how you turn it, which is why the same red looks brighter at the top of the photograph and deeper towards the bottom. The trim is a cut fringe worked around all four sides, and the cover closes with a concealed zip, so the pad slips in and out without a visible fastening. Because velvet holds a nap, plump and smooth the face by hand to settle the pile after use. Halo comes in several tonal colour combinations, so you can mix and match reds, greens and other pairings across a single arrangement.

What is the cushion made from?

It is made from 100% polyester with a velvet face, which gives it a soft pile that holds its colour and stands up to everyday use on a sofa or chair.

What size cushion pad do I need?

The cover measures 50 x 50cm, so a 50 x 50cm pad fits it well. Choosing a pad the same size or very slightly larger keeps the corners full.

Does the cover come off for cleaning?

Yes. There is a concealed zip closure along one edge, so you can slip the pad out and put it back without a visible fastening on the front.

What colour is the fringe?

The fringe is fir green and runs around all four sides, set against the dark red velvet face so the two colours contrast rather than match.

How do I keep the velvet looking its best?

Velvet has a directional pile that catches the light, so smooth and plump the cushion by hand after use to settle the nap and keep the face looking even.
