Description
The Malisa cushion cover is a 50x50cm square in pure cotton, with a faux velvet front and reverse and a bright paisley print of plants and flowers worked across a plain ground. The photograph shows a blue base carrying pink, magenta, green and red botanical motifs, framed on every edge by a run of deep pink pompoms. It is the print and the pompom trim that make this cushion itself: a busy, Indian-inspired design rather than a quiet plain, sold as a cover in a single square size.
A 50x50cm square is the standard large scatter cushion, the size that anchors the back of a sofa or sits at the head of a bed without disappearing behind smaller cushions. This one suits a room that can carry pattern and colour, layered against plainer cushions or a solid throw so the paisley has space to be read. The blue ground keeps it from shouting, while the pink pompoms give the edge a soft, decorative finish that reads well from across a room.
The cover is made from 100% cotton with a soft velvet-feel pile, so it has the warmth and give of cotton and the surface softness of a velvet-style fabric. A hidden zip closure runs along one edge, keeping the fastening out of the design so the print stays unbroken. Being cotton, it is machine washable at 30 degrees, tumble dries on a low setting and takes a warm iron for the best finish. It belongs to the wider Malisa range, so if you like the paisley there are companion pieces in the same design to build a look around.

Frequently Asked
Is the cushion pad included or is this the cover only?
This is sold as a cushion cover with a hidden zip closure, so you can add or reuse a 50x50cm pad of your choosing.
What size pad should I buy for it?
The cover measures 50x50cm, which is a standard large scatter size, so a 50x50cm pad gives it a full, well-filled shape.
How do I wash it?
Being 100% cotton, it is machine washable at 30 degrees, tumble dries on a low setting and takes a warm iron for the best finish.
Is the front actually velvet?
The fabric is a faux velvet, so it gives the soft surface feel of velvet while the cover itself is made from 100% cotton.
Where does the zip sit?
The zip is hidden along one edge so the fastening stays out of sight and the paisley print runs unbroken across the front.
Will the pompoms survive washing?
The pompom trim is stitched around every edge; wash gently at 30 degrees and dry on a low setting to keep the trim in good shape.
