Lustre Velvet Plain Polyester Cushion - Champagne

This is the Lustre Velvet cushion in champagne, a warm pale beige with a soft gold cast that shifts as the light moves across it. The face is a crushed velvet, a pile deliberately pressed in different directions so it catches light unevenly and reads as a shimmer rather than a flat colour. It is a square 50cm cushion, made from 100% polyester, and the velvet runs across both faces so there is no plain back to keep hidden. Around the edge sits a neat self-piping, a corded seam cut from the same fabric that gives the cushion a defined outline and a tidy finish at the corners.

A 50cm square is a generous size that holds its shape well on a sofa or a bed, and this one is built to be layered. The champagne tone is a neutral, so it sits comfortably against creams, greys and warmer earthy shades, and the crushed velvet texture earns its place next to smoother woven cushions and throws where the contrast in surface does the work. It suits a living room, a reading chair or the head of a bed, anywhere you want a little softness and a catch of light without a pattern competing for attention.

The cover fastens with a zip closure, so it lifts off cleanly when you need to take it away, and the piped edges keep their line through repeated use. Polyester velvet is hard-wearing and holds its colour, which is why this cushion is made to keep its look over time. Because the pile is crushed, brushing it in different directions changes how the light sits, so you can dress it to catch the room. It belongs to the wider Lustre Velvet range, which carries the same crushed velvet in other colourways for pulling a scheme together.

Is the velvet on both sides of the cushion?

Yes, the crushed velvet face runs across both sides, so there is no plain back and either face can sit forward.

What does the champagne colour actually look like?

It is a warm pale beige with a soft gold sheen that shifts as light moves over the crushed pile, so it reads as a shimmer rather than one flat tone.

How is the cover fastened?

The cover has a zip closure along one edge, which makes it quick to remove and put back when you need to lift it off.

What is the self-piping around the edge?

It is a corded seam cut from the same velvet, run around all four sides to give the cushion a defined outline and a tidy finish at the corners.

Will it work with cushions I already have?

The champagne is a neutral, so it layers well with creams, greys and warmer tones, and the crushed texture contrasts nicely with smoother woven fabrics.
