Description
The Leilani cushion carries a tropical scene printed onto chenille: a pair of birds, one with an orange crest and green plumage, the other with blue and green feathers, perched between bold flowers and broad leaves. The print is set against a deep midnight ground that lets the greens, pinks and oranges read clearly. This is the 43 x 43cm size, a square that suits a sofa or a bed without dominating either. The face is chenille and the reverse is a plain olive velvet, so whichever way it sits it has texture to it.
A cushion like this earns its place as the piece that pulls a scheme together. The dark ground means it works against pale sofas as easily as it lifts a darker one, and the botanical print gives you a lead to draw other colours from, the green of the reverse, the pink of the flowers, the orange of the birds. It sits well in a living room grouped with plainer cushions, or singly on a reading chair or a bench at the foot of a bed. The mix of a busy printed face and a calm plain back means you can turn it to suit the mood of the room.
The construction is chenille on the front with a velvet reverse, finished with a piped edge that runs the whole way round and gives the seam a defined line. It is 100% polyester, which holds printed colour well and stands up to everyday handling on a sofa. The green piping picks up the tone of the velvet back, so the trim reads as part of the design rather than an afterthought. Pair it with the plain-backed olive facing out when you want quiet, or turn the birds forward when you want the room to have a focal point.
