Hunter Animal Linen Cushion - Multicolour

The Hunter cushion carries a hand-painted watercolour Highland cow on a plain natural ground, its shaggy coat and long horns rendered in soft ambers and browns. Down one side runs a woven tartan panel in olive, brown and red, and that same tartan wraps the reverse, so the cushion reads as a print on one face and a check on the other. It measures 43cm square, a size that sits comfortably at the corner of a sofa or propped against the arm of a chair.

This is a cushion for a country-leaning room. The Highland cow and the tartan lean into a rural, lodge-inspired look, while the plain natural background keeps it from feeling heavy, so it works against a neutral sofa as easily as against a deeper, more traditional palette. Set it among plainer cushions in cream, olive or brown and let the animal print do the talking, or pair it with the tartan-only face turned outward for a quieter arrangement. It suits a living room, a snug or a reading chair equally well.

The cover is made from polyester with a small proportion of linen in the weave, which gives it a soft handle that stands up to everyday use. The print is applied to the natural ground, the edges are standard knife edges, and a hidden zip closure keeps the fastening out of sight and makes the cover easy to take off. It is designed, printed and made in the UK. Because it turns to a full tartan on the reverse, you effectively have two looks in one cushion, useful when you want to change the mood of a room without buying anything new.

What is the cushion cover made from?

The cover is a polyester weave with a small four per cent of linen, which gives it a soft handle while keeping the durability polyester is known for in everyday use.

Is the tartan on both sides or just the front?

The tartan appears as a panel down one side of the printed front and then covers the whole of the reverse, so you can turn the cushion for a full check look.

How big is the cushion?

It measures 43cm square, a standard scatter cushion size that suits sofas, armchairs and beds and mixes easily with other cushions in the same size range.

Does the cover come off for cleaning?

Yes, there is a hidden zip closure along one edge, so the cover can be removed from the pad without any visible fastening spoiling the front.

What sort of room does this cushion suit?

It leans towards a country or lodge look with its Highland cow and tartan, and the plain natural ground lets it settle happily into neutral schemes too.
