Description
This is the Luxe Velvet cushion cover in rust, a warm burnt-orange tone with the deep, shifting sheen that velvet gives as the light moves across it. It is made from 100% polyester with a soft, velvet-feel pile on both the front and the reverse, so whichever way it lands on the sofa it presents the same face. At 55 x 55cm it is a generous square, larger than the standard 45cm scatter cushion, which makes it a good anchor at the corner of a sofa or the centre of a bed rather than a filler.
Rust sits happily in autumnal and earthy schemes, working alongside deep greens, warm neutrals and darker woods, and it lifts a plain grey or charcoal sofa without shouting. Because the design is plain rather than patterned, it is easy to layer: pair two or three together, or mix it with textured knits and printed cushions to build up a corner. The neat piped border around the edge gives the cushion a defined, tailored line that holds its shape on a seat.
Construction is straightforward and practical. A piped trim runs around the border and a hidden zip closure keeps the opening out of sight, so the cover can be taken off for cleaning. Being polyester, it is hard-wearing and does not stain easily, which suits a busy living room and homes with children or pets. Care is simple: machine wash at 30 degrees, tumble dry and iron as needed. The cover is offered in a wide range of colours, so you can match or mix across a scheme once you have settled on this one.

Frequently Asked
Does this cushion come with a filling pad?
The listing is for the cover, which fastens with a hidden zip so you can add or remove a pad of your choosing. A 55cm or slightly larger pad gives the fullest look.
How do I wash the velvet cover?
It is fully machine washable at 30 degrees, and it can be tumble dried and ironed. The polyester makes it hard-wearing and it does not stain easily.
Is the velvet on both sides?
Yes, the soft velvet-feel pile runs across the front and the reverse, so the cushion looks the same whichever way it sits on your sofa or bed.
How big is this cushion?
It measures 55 x 55cm, which is larger than a standard 45cm scatter cushion, so it works well as a main cushion on a sofa or bed.
Will rust suit my room?
Rust is a warm burnt-orange that sits well with earthy and autumnal schemes, deep greens and warm neutrals, and lifts a plain grey or charcoal sofa.
