Lil Scallop Plain Velvet Cushion - Lemon / Ginger

This is a plain velvet cushion with a scalloped edge, made from 100% polyester and measuring 45 x 45cm. The face and back are both velvet, so it looks and feels the same whichever way it lands on the sofa, and the standout detail is the wavy scalloped trim running right around all four sides. On this piece the body is a bright lemon yellow and the scalloped border is picked out with a contrast ginger-orange thread, so the shape of the edge is drawn in clearly rather than left to blend in.

A 45 x 45cm square is the most common cushion size going, which makes this an easy one to slot into what you already have. It sits happily on a two or three-seater sofa, across the head of a bed, or in a reading chair, and the scalloped shape gives it more character than a plain square would. The strong lemon reads as cheerful rather than quiet, so it works best where you want a pop of colour against a calmer background: a neutral sofa, a green or grey chair, or a bed with plain white linen. It pairs naturally with the other colourways in the range if you like to mix and match.

Velvet is a woven pile fabric, which is what gives it that soft hand and the way the colour shifts a little as the light catches the nap. The scalloped border is finished with contrast threading that outlines each curve, and there is a zip closure on the back so the cover comes off for cleaning. Being polyester, the pile holds its colour well and does not crush as readily as some natural fibres. Please follow the care guidance on the sewn-in label. Style it on its own for a single bright note, or stack it with the ginger and pink scallops for a fuller, more playful look.

Is the velvet on both sides of the cushion?

Yes, this is a double-sided velvet cushion, so the front and back are both the same soft velvet and it looks right whichever way it sits.

What size is this cushion?

It measures 45 x 45cm, which is the standard square cushion size and works well on most sofas, chairs and beds.

Does the cover come off for cleaning?

What is the scalloped edge made of?

The wavy scalloped trim runs around all four sides and is outlined with a contrast ginger thread, which is what draws the shape of each curve.

What colour is this one?
