Description
This is a plain velvet cushion in a soft blue, finished with a scalloped edge and a contrasting brown trim that traces every curve of the border. It measures 45 by 45cm, the standard square that works on almost any sofa or bed, and it is made from 100% polyester velvet on both faces, so the pile and the depth of colour read the same whichever way you turn it. The scalloped edge is the feature here: rather than a straight seam, the border rolls in a run of rounded lobes, each one outlined in brown thread so the shape stays crisp against the pale blue ground.
A cushion like this earns its place where you want a bit of shape without a busy pattern. The plain blue face sits happily against a printed throw, a linen sofa or a plainer cushion, and the scalloped border does the decorative work on its own. It suits a living room sofa, a reading chair or the head of a bed, and because the colour is quiet the playful edge does the talking. The brown outline picks up warm woods and tan leather, so it settles into a room that already leans towards natural tones.
The cover is double-sided velvet, which means a soft, dense pile that catches the light and shows the colour deeply. A zip closure runs along one edge, so the cover comes off for cleaning and the pad can be replaced when it eventually softens. Velvet holds its look best with gentle handling, so keep it away from sharp claws and check the pile sits one way after any clean. If you like the shape, the scalloped cushion comes in a range of colourways, so you can mix a few across a sofa.

Frequently Asked
Is the velvet on both sides of the cushion?
Yes, the cover is double-sided velvet, so the pile and the blue colour look the same on the front and the back of the cushion.
Does the cover come off?
It does. There is a zip along one edge, so you can remove the cover for cleaning and take the pad out when you need to.
What is the scalloped edge made of?
The border rolls in rounded lobes and each curve is outlined in a contrasting brown thread, which keeps the shape sharp against the pale blue velvet.
What size is this cushion?
It is a 45 by 45cm square, the common size that fits most sofas, armchairs and beds without looking too large or too small.
What does the brown trim go with?
The warm brown outline picks up tan leather, natural wood and warm neutral walls, so the cushion settles easily into a room with earthy tones.
