Luxe Velvet Plain Polyester Cushion - Olive

The Luxe Velvet cushion cover is made from a soft, velvet-feel fabric with a plain face and a matching reverse, both carrying the light-catching sheen that gives velvet its depth. This is the large size at 55x55cm, a generous square that holds its shape on a sofa or bed. The face is a single olive tone that shifts from a paler sage where the light hits the pile to a deeper, warmer green where it lies flat, which is simply how velvet reads under a lamp rather than a printed pattern.

A 55x55cm cushion is the one to reach for when you want a bit of presence rather than a scatter accent. It sits well at the corners of a sofa, propped against the arms, or layered in front of smaller cushions to build up depth. The olive is a settled, easy green that works alongside warm neutrals, natural woods and darker upholstery, so you can lean into it as a single-colour scheme or use it to pick up green in a patterned throw. Because the range comes in a wide choice of colours, you can mix and match tones across a set if you want to build a considered arrangement.

The cover is finished with a piped border running around the edge, which gives the square a crisp, defined outline and helps it keep its form with use. Closure is a hidden zip, so nothing interrupts the plain front. It is made from 100% polyester, a hard-wearing fibre that resists everyday marks and does not crease as readily as natural cloth, which makes it a sensible pick for homes with children or pets. It is fully machine washable at 30 degrees and can be tumble dried and ironed, so keeping it fresh is straightforward. Style it as a solid anchor among prints or pair it with other colourways from the same range.

Does this come with a cushion pad or is it just the cover?

This is a cushion cover only, so you will need a 55x55cm pad to fill it. A same-size or slightly larger pad gives the plumpest, best-filled look.

How do I wash the Luxe Velvet cushion cover?

It is fully machine washable at 30 degrees, and it can be tumble dried and ironed, so it is straightforward to keep looking fresh between uses.

Is the front and back the same?

Yes, the velvet-feel fabric runs across both the front and the reverse, so the cover looks the same whichever way it faces on the sofa or bed.

Why does the colour look lighter in some places?

That is the velvet pile catching the light. The olive reads paler where the light hits and deeper where the pile lies flat, rather than being a print or fade.

Is polyester a good choice for a busy home?

Polyester is hard-wearing and resists everyday marks, and it creases less than many natural fabrics, which makes it a practical option in homes with children or pets.
