Lark Reversible Cotton Cushion - Dusk

The Lark cushion is made from four-layer muslin crinkle cotton, a construction that gives the cloth its gently ribbed, softly puckered surface. It is pure cotton throughout, light and airy to handle rather than dense, and it measures 45 x 45cm, the standard square that most cushion covers and inserts are cut to. The colour here is Dusk, a muted teal-blue that reads deep in shadow and lifts towards slate in daylight. The face is plain, with the interest coming from the texture of the weave rather than any print.

A 45cm square is the workhorse size for a sofa or a bed, large enough to sit against and layer in front of bigger cushions or behind smaller ones. The muted Dusk tone sits easily with natural linens, warm neutrals and the deeper greens and blues of a relaxed, contemporary bedroom or living room. Because the design is reversible, you can turn the cover for a fresh face without changing anything else, and the crinkled cotton keeps its relaxed look even after it has been sat against.

The cover has a subtle knife-edged trim, so the seam sits flat to the edge without piping or flange, and it fastens with a hidden zip that keeps the closure out of sight for a clean finish. Being 100% cotton, it is a breathable, natural fibre that washes and wears well, and the crinkle texture is forgiving of the odd crease. Style it on its own for a pared-back look or build it into a group of textured cushions where the muslin surface can play against smoother weaves.

What size cushion insert do I need for this cover?

The cover measures 45 x 45cm, so a 45cm square insert fits well. Many people choose a 45 or 50cm feather pad for a fuller, plumper look.

What does four-layer muslin crinkle cotton feel like?

It is soft and lightweight with a gently ribbed, puckered surface. The four layers of fine cotton muslin give it body while keeping that airy, relaxed handle rather than a dense weave.

Is the cushion really reversible?

Yes, both faces of the cover are finished the same way, so you can turn it over for a fresh side whenever you like without any visible seam or backing difference.

How does the cover open and close?

It fastens with a hidden zip set into the seam, which keeps the closure out of sight and makes it easy to remove the insert when you need to.

What colour is Dusk?

Dusk is a muted teal-blue. It looks deeper in low light and shifts towards a soft slate in daylight, which makes it easy to pair with neutrals and other muted tones.

What will this cushion suit?

Its plain, textured face and muted colour work well in a modern, relaxed bedroom or living room, layered with linens, warm neutrals or deeper greens and blues.
