Description
The Lydiard cushion gives you two looks in one piece. One face carries a hand-painted watercolour meadow print in soft greens, ambers and browns, the kind of loose botanical study that reads as wild grasses, seed heads and teasels. Turn it over and you get a woven check in moss green and cream. It measures 30 x 50cm, a bolster-style oblong rather than a square, so it sits differently to the usual scatter cushion. The printed face is 100% cotton and the check reverse is a cotton-linen blend at 97% cotton and 3% linen.
This is an outdoor cushion, which changes where it earns its place. It suits garden sofas, bench seating and rattan furniture, and the reversible design means you can lead with the florals for a summer table setting or flip to the check for a plainer, more countryside look. The oblong shape works as a lumbar support along the back of a two-seater, or laid flat across a wider seat. Indoors it is just as at home on a window seat or across the foot of a bed, where the long format suits a headboard-width run.
The blend has a water-resistant coating for outdoor use, and a piped edge runs around the seam. Cotton is a natural fibre that takes print well, which is why the watercolour detail stays crisp, and the small amount of linen in the reverse adds a little texture to the weave. The check reverse and the printed face share the same moss and cream palette, so both sides sit within one scheme. Style it alongside natural timber and rattan for a relaxed, garden-room feel.
