Description
This is a plain, square cushion in a deep beetroot red, made from heavy chenille velvet with a piped edge running all the way around. Chenille is a yarn spun so that short tufts stand out from a central core, which is why the surface reads as soft and slightly slubbed rather than flat, catching the light differently as you move past it. The cover is a full 50cm square, a generous size that sits well on a sofa or a wide armchair without looking lost.
A single deep-red cushion of this scale is a useful thing to own. It works on a neutral sofa where it adds warmth against cream or grey upholstery, and it holds its own on a wooden-framed chair or a window seat. The colour is rich and quiet rather than bright, so it settles into a room rather than shouting across it, and it pairs happily with natural wood, warm neutrals and other muted tones. Because it is one solid colour with no pattern, you can layer it with prints and textures without any clash.
The piped trim gives the edge a defined, tailored line and helps the cushion keep its shape through everyday use. A zip closure runs along one side, so the cover comes off for cleaning and goes back on easily. The fabric is 100% polyester, which is hard-wearing and holds colour well over time. Follow the care label on the cover itself before washing. If you like the look, the same cushion is made in other muted colourways, so you can build a set in tones that suit your room.

Frequently Asked
What does the cushion feel like?
It is made from heavy chenille velvet, which has a soft, dense pile with a slightly slubbed texture, so it feels warm and substantial rather than smooth and flat.
Can I take the cover off to clean it?
Yes. There is a zip closure along one side, so the cover comes off easily for cleaning and slips back on without a struggle. Follow the care label sewn into the cover.
What size is this cushion?
It is a 50 by 50 centimetre square, a generous size that suits a sofa or a wide armchair and gives good back and arm support when you sit.
Is the colour bright or muted?
It is a deep, rich beetroot red that reads as muted rather than bold, so it adds warmth to a room without dominating the other colours around it.
What is the piped edge for?
The piping is a cord-filled trim stitched around the seam. It gives the cushion a defined, tailored outline and helps the cover hold its square shape with everyday use.
