Description
This is a square velvet cushion carrying a hand-painted jungle scene: two leopards among banana leaves, ferns and palm fronds, with a toucan below and small flowers picked out in coral pink. The print sits on a deep near-black ground, so the greens and the pale cats read clearly against it. The face is a soft faux-velvet made from 100% polyester, and the reverse is a plain petrol-toned velvet in the same fabric, edged all the way round with a piped trim. It measures 43cm by 43cm.
A patterned front with a plain back is a practical pairing to own. Turn the printed face out when you want the leopards on show, or flip to the calm petrol reverse when the sofa already has enough going on. That makes it easy to live with in a contemporary or modern room, on a sofa, an armchair or a bed, and it sits happily alongside plainer cushions in greens, blues or warm neutrals that pick up the leaves and the coral flowers. The 43cm square size is a standard scale that layers well with both larger and smaller cushions.
Polyester velvet is chosen here for a reason: it holds a printed design with good colour depth, it is hard-wearing, and it resists the creasing and fading that catch out some natural fabrics. The piped edge runs around all four sides to define the shape and help the cushion keep its form, and a hidden zip lets you take the cover off the pad. Being one fabric front and back, it is a self-contained piece rather than part of a matching set, so it works as a single accent or in a group of two or three across a seat.

Frequently Asked
What is the cushion made from?
The cover is 100% polyester in a soft faux-velvet, used on both the printed front and the plain petrol reverse for a consistent feel all over.
Does the cover come off for cleaning?
Yes, there is a hidden zip along one edge, so you can take the cover off the inner pad when you need to.
How big is it and what does it suit?
It is a 43cm square, a standard cushion scale that layers comfortably with larger and smaller cushions on a sofa, chair or bed.
Is the back patterned too?
No, the reverse is a plain petrol velvet in the same fabric, so you can turn the leopard print out or flip to the solid side.
What is the piped edge for?
The piping runs around all four sides to define the square shape and help the cushion hold its form over time.
Is this part of a matching set?
It is sold as a single cushion, so you can use it on its own as an accent or group a few together across a seat.
