Metro Blocks Jacquard Velvet Cushion - Green

The Metro Blocks cushion carries a jacquard velvet front worked into an abstract block design, a scatter of soft rectangles in teal, rust-amber, sage and warm ochre laid over a cream ground. Because the pattern is woven as a jacquard rather than printed, the blocks sit as raised velvet against a flatter base cloth, so the design has real depth you can feel as much as see. The face is polyester velvet and the reverse is a plain velvet in a muted sage green, which is why the cushion reads as either busy or calm depending on which side you show.

It is a 45cm square, the standard scatter-cushion size, so it works on a sofa, an armchair or a bed without looking undersized or overwhelming the seat. The mix of teal, ochre and sage means it sits happily alongside plainer velvets in blue or grey, and the plain reverse gives you a quiet option if you want to break up a row of patterned cushions. Group two or three together on a larger sofa, or use a single one to pick up the warmer tones already in a room.

The cover closes with a zip along one edge, so it comes off easily for cleaning and goes back on without a fuss, and the seams are finished with a simple knife edge rather than piping or a flange, which keeps the focus on the woven pattern. Polyester velvet is hard-wearing and holds its colour well, making this a practical choice for a cushion that gets everyday use. It belongs to our wider Metro Blocks range if you want to build a coordinated look across a seating area.

Is the pattern printed or woven into the fabric?

The block design is a jacquard, which means it is woven into the velvet rather than printed on top, so the raised pattern has texture and depth you can feel.

What is on the back of the cushion?

The reverse is a plain velvet in a soft sage green, so you can turn the cushion to show either the patterned front or the quieter plain side.

How big is the cushion?

It is a 45 by 45cm square, the usual scatter-cushion size that suits a sofa, an armchair or the head of a bed without looking too small.

Does the cover come off?

Yes, there is a zip along one edge so the cover can be removed and put back easily whenever you need to clean it.

What colours are in the design?

The front mixes teal, rust-amber, sage and warm ochre blocks over a cream ground, while the reverse is a single soft sage green.

What is the cushion made from?

It is made entirely from polyester velvet, a soft and hard-wearing fabric that holds its colour and stands up well to everyday use.

Will it suit a room with blue and grey furnishings?

Yes, the warm ochre and teal tones sit comfortably against plainer blue and grey velvets, and the plain reverse gives a calmer option when needed.
