Description
This is a plain charcoal cushion made from heavy chenille velvet, a woven pile fabric with a soft, dense surface and a slight lustre that catches the light differently as you move past it. The cover measures 50 x 50cm, the standard square that most cushion pads are sized to, and its front is finished with a piped trim that runs around all four edges. Chenille is a pile weave rather than a print, so the colour reads as a quiet, washed grey with tonal shading across the surface rather than a single flat shade.
A cushion this size and this colour is an easy one to place. Charcoal is a settling neutral that sits against pale linen upholstery, cream walls and natural wood without fighting anything else in the room, so it works on a sofa, an armchair or the head of a bed. The plain face means it partners happily with patterned cushions, a bold geometric or a textured throw, and it holds its own equally well left on its own. It suits a living room, a bedroom or a reading corner where you want weight and softness rather than colour.
The cover is 100% polyester, which is hard-wearing, holds its shape and resists fading, so it copes with daily use and a spot of afternoon sun. It is a reversible design with the same face front and back, and closes with a hidden zip so the fastening stays out of sight. Being polyester chenille, it is a practical choice for busy rooms and takes knocks in its stride. If you like the fabric, the same heavy chenille is made up as eyelet curtains, so you can carry the texture across the window and the seating for a considered, relaxed scheme.

Frequently Asked
What size cushion pad does this cover take?
The cover measures 50 x 50cm, so a 50cm pad fills it neatly. A slightly larger pad gives a plumper, fuller look if you prefer more body.
Is the same fabric front and back?
Yes, this is a reversible design with the same chenille face on both sides, so you can turn it over and it looks the same either way.
How does it close?
It closes with a hidden zip, which keeps the fastening out of sight along one edge and makes it easy to remove the cover from the pad.
What is chenille and how does it feel?
Chenille is a woven pile fabric with a soft, dense surface and a slight sheen. It feels plush underhand and has a gentle, understated lustre.
Will the polyester fabric wear well?
Polyester is hard-wearing and holds its shape and colour, so it stands up to daily use on a sofa or bed and resists fading in the light.
