Description
This is a plain velvet cushion from the Meridian range, made from 100% polyester and measuring 45 x 45cm. It has a soft, dense velvet-feel face and reverse in a pale dove grey, finished with a contrasting piped border in a deeper charcoal grey that runs right around the edge. The piping is the detail that does the work here: it draws a clean line around the whole square and gives the cushion a defined edge rather than a soft, unmarked one.
At 45 x 45cm this is a full-size square cushion, the sort that suits a sofa, an armchair or the head of a bed rather than a small accent perch. The two-tone grey is deliberately quiet, so it sits alongside most upholstery colours without fighting them, and the velvet pile catches the light differently as you move past it, which stops a plain cushion from reading flat. Group two or three together on a larger sofa, or use a single one to break up a plainer chair. Because the front and reverse are both the same dove velvet, it looks finished whichever way it lands.
Being 100% polyester, the velvet-feel fabric is hardwearing and holds its colour well, which matters on a cushion that gets leaned on and moved about daily. The cover has a zip closure, so it lifts off the pad for cleaning and the pad can be plumped back into shape. The supplier gives no washing instruction, so we would not guess at one; check the sewn-in care label before you clean it. The Meridian range runs to several complementary colourways with the same plain face and contrast piping, so you can mix and match across the set if you want more than one tone in a room.
