Kielder Forest Plain Velvet Cushion - Khaki

This is the Kielder Forest cushion, a 30 x 50cm rectangular design worked entirely in polyester velvet. The front carries a woodland scene, digitally printed onto the soft velvet ground: a stand of slender birch trunks rising through a deep khaki-green backdrop, with ferns and broad leaves in fresh and golden greens gathered along the lower edge. The print reaches from selvedge to selvedge, and where a plain cushion would give you one flat tone this one gives you real depth and detail across the whole face.

A long bolster-shaped cushion like this suits the front of a sofa or an armchair, where its width lets it sit comfortably against square scatter cushions rather than competing with them. The green woodland tone works with natural linen upholstery, warm neutral walls and other botanical or fern prints, which is exactly how it is shown here. It is a good choice for a living room or a reading corner that already leans towards earthy, countryside colour, and the horizontal format makes it useful as lumbar support behind your back as much as decoration.

The reverse is a plain khaki velvet, so you can turn the cushion to show either the full woodland scene or a quiet solid face depending on your mood. Velvet has a short dense pile that catches the light and shifts tone as you move around it, which is what gives the printed trunks and foliage their richness. Being polyester, the fabric is hard-wearing and holds its colour well. Please follow the care label on your cushion. It coordinates with other pieces in the Kielder Forest range if you want to build the woodland look across a room.

Is the back of the cushion printed too?

No, the reverse is a plain khaki velvet. The printed woodland scene is on the front only, so you can show either side depending on the look you want.

What are the dimensions of this cushion?

It measures 30 x 50cm, a long rectangular bolster shape rather than a square, which makes it well suited to lumbar support at the front of a sofa.

What is the cushion made from?

The cover is 100% polyester velvet, a hard-wearing fabric with a short dense pile that catches the light and gives the printed colours real depth.

Does the velvet pile change how the colour looks?

Yes, velvet shifts tone as you move around it because the pile catches light differently, so the trunks and foliage appear to shift subtly depending on the angle.

Will it suit a green or neutral room scheme?

The khaki-green woodland tone sits well with natural linen, warm neutral walls and other botanical prints, making it an easy match for earthy, countryside-style rooms.
