Les Petite Fleurs Gingham Cotton Cushion - Natural

This is the Les Petite Fleurs cushion, a rectangular cotton cushion measuring 30 x 50cm and made throughout from 100% cotton. The face carries a soft gingham check in warm natural tones, scattered with small embroidered flowers worked in pink, yellow and green thread. A gathered frilled trim runs the whole way round the edge, framing the check and giving the cushion its country-cottage character. It is a cover-and-pad piece, with the pad sitting inside a removable cover.

At 30 x 50cm this is a lumbar shape rather than a square, which makes it useful for the small of the back on a sofa or armchair, or laid in front of larger square cushions to add depth to a bed. The gentle gingham and the embroidered sprigs suit a bedroom, a nursery or a relaxed sitting room, and the neutral ground means it sits happily against plain linens, painted furniture and other soft floral or checked pieces without fighting them. It is a good choice where you want a little pattern without a bold colour.

The cover is made from breathable, high-quality cotton, a fibre that feels soft against the skin and washes well, which matters on a cushion that gets handled and leaned on. A discreet zip closure runs along one edge so the cover comes off easily for cleaning and goes back on without a struggle. The embroidery is worked directly into the gingham face, so it is part of the cloth rather than an applied patch. Style it with other checks and small prints for a layered, lived-in look, or keep the surrounding scheme plain and let the flowers do the talking.
