Halo Fringed Velvet Plain Polyester Cushion - Teal/Blush

The Halo Fringed Velvet Cushion is a plain velvet square with a contrasting fringe running the whole way round its edge. This one pairs a deep teal velvet face with a blush pink fringe, a pairing that reads as playful rather than quiet. It measures 50 x 50cm, the standard square that most sofa and bed arrangements are built around, so it drops into an existing set without upsetting the proportions. The velvet itself is a plush, soft-piled fabric, and because it is 100% polyester it holds its colour and takes daily handling well.

A cushion like this earns its place on a sofa, an armchair or a bed, and it is happiest where it can be seen from all sides, because the fringe is the feature and it runs unbroken around the edge. The teal-and-blush combination sits well against warm neutrals and against darker, moodier upholstery, where the pink fringe lifts the whole thing. If you like to build a pile of cushions, plain velvets are the easy layer to mix with patterned pieces, and the fringe gives this one texture without adding another print to the mix.

Velvet catches the light differently depending on how the pile is brushed, so you will see the teal shift between lighter and deeper across the face, which is normal and part of how the fabric behaves. A concealed zip runs along one edge, keeping the closure out of sight and making the cover simple to take off. As a polyester fabric it responds well to gentle handling, and the pile can be smoothed back into place by hand. The Halo range comes in several tonal combinations, so if this teal and blush is not quite your pairing there are others to match a scheme.

Is the fringe on one edge only or all the way round?

The contrasting fringe runs the whole way round all four edges of the cushion, so it frames the velvet face on every side.

What is the cover made from?

It is a velvet made from 100% polyester, which gives it a soft, plush pile and helps it hold its colour under everyday use.

How big is the cushion?

It measures 50 by 50 centimetres, the standard square size, so it fits alongside most existing sofa and bed cushion arrangements.

Does the cover come off?

Yes, there is a concealed zip along one edge so the cover can be removed without a visible fastening on show.

Why does the velvet look darker in some places?

Velvet reflects light according to the direction of its pile, so the teal will appear lighter or deeper as you view it from different angles.

Can I mix this with patterned cushions?

Yes, a plain velvet with a textured fringe is an easy layer to combine with printed pieces without adding another pattern to the mix.
