Description
The Lil Scallop is a 45 x 45cm velvet cushion in a deep burgundy, edged all the way round with a scalloped border picked out in a contrasting chocolate-brown thread. It is a plain cushion in the best sense: no print to compete with, just a rich single colour and the shape of the edge doing the work. The velvet is double-sided, so front and back match, and the scalloped trim runs across every side rather than sitting on one face alone.
At 45 x 45cm it is the standard square that most sofa and bed arrangements are built around, which makes it easy to slot in alongside cushions you already own or to buy in a pair for symmetry. The burgundy is a warm, saturated red that sits well with neutral linen sofas, darker woods and other jewel tones, and the chocolate edge gives it a grounded, considered look rather than a purely bright one. It suits a living room sofa, a reading chair or the head of a bed equally.
The cover is made from polyester velvet, which gives that soft, light-catching pile and holds its colour well through everyday use. There is a zip closure along one edge, so the cover comes off for cleaning and the pad can be replaced or plumped as needed. The contrast threading on the scalloped edge is the detail to notice up close: it outlines each curve and is what lifts a plain velvet square into something with a bit of character. If you like the shape, it is an easy one to repeat across a room.
