Description
This is the Lustre Velvet cushion in pewter, a soft grey with a crushed velvet finish that catches the light differently as you move past it. The pile is a crushed velvet, so the surface shifts between lighter and darker tones across the same piece of cloth rather than sitting as one flat colour. It is a plain design with no pattern, which lets the texture and the sheen do the work. Both faces are made up the same way, so there is no wrong side to keep hidden and you can turn it over as it settles. The cover is made from 100% polyester, and the pad it sits over gives it a full, rounded shape, as the side view shows.
A plain velvet cushion like this earns its place on a sofa, a bed or an armchair, and it is an easy one to build a group around. Because it carries a single colour and a rich texture, it pairs well with patterned pieces without competing with them, and it works equally alongside other plain cushions in contrasting colours. Pewter is a grey that sits comfortably against both cool and warm schemes, so it settles into most living rooms and bedrooms without a fight. The square shape stacks and layers neatly, which is why it is a useful base cushion to have several of.
The cover is finished with a self-piped edge, meaning the piping is cut from the same velvet rather than a contrasting trim, giving a clean, quiet border to each face. A zip closure runs along one side, so the cover comes off for cleaning and goes back on without a struggle. Polyester velvet is hard-wearing and holds its colour well, which suits a cushion that gets sat against and moved about daily. Being plain, it slots into a wider group of textures and shades, and it is a straightforward starting point if you like to change a room by swapping cushions with the seasons.
