Haze Plain Velvet Cushion - Mustard

The Haze cushion is a plain velvet square in a warm mustard yellow, measuring 50 x 50cm. Both the face and the reverse are woven from velvet, giving it a soft, slightly lustrous surface that catches the light and shifts tone as you move around it. The front carries a close, run-stitched quilting that draws the pile into fine parallel ridges, so the cushion reads as a single quiet colour with a good deal of texture worked into it rather than a printed pattern. It is a large square, the size that anchors a corner rather than filling a gap.

A 50cm square is the workhorse of a sofa or bed, big enough to lean back into and substantial enough to sit at the centre of a group. The mustard tone sits happily against deep greens, warm browns and the neutral end of a room, so it works whether you are building around it or dropping it into an existing scheme. Two together bookend a three-seater; a single one lifts an armchair or a reading nook. The plain colour means it partners a busier printed cushion without competing with it.

The reverse is fastened with a zip, so the cover comes off the pad for cleaning and the fill can be plumped back into shape. The quilted face has a knife-edge finish at the seams, keeping the outline crisp rather than piped. Velvet has a direction to its pile, so it looks its best given an occasional brush of the hand to settle the nap after use. It is a plain, textural piece that earns its place by adding warmth and depth to a seat without shouting for attention, and it will sit comfortably alongside plainer linens and heavier weaves alike.

What is the cover made of?

Both the front and the back are woven from velvet, a polyester pile fabric that is soft to the touch and holds its warm mustard colour well.

Can I take the cover off to clean it?

Yes. There is a zip along the reverse, so the cover lifts off the inner pad for cleaning and for plumping the fill back into shape.

How big is the cushion?

It is a 50 x 50cm square, a generous size that suits the corner of a sofa or the centre of a bed and gives good support to lean against.

Is the front patterned or plain?

It is a plain mustard colour worked with close run-stitched quilting, so the interest comes from the texture and the way the pile catches light rather than from a print.

Why does the velvet look lighter or darker in places?

Velvet has a directional pile, so it shades differently depending on the angle you view it from. A gentle brush of the hand settles the nap.

Will the mustard tone go with other colours?

The warm mustard works well against deep greens, browns and neutral tones, so it drops into an existing scheme or anchors one you are building.
