Description
This is a 43cm square cushion printed with a trio of English garden birds among delicate florals and foliage, set against a deep green ground. The face is a soft velvet, and the reverse is velvet too, so the cushion feels the same whichever way it lands on a sofa. A neat piped edge runs right around the perimeter, giving the cushion a defined, tailored outline rather than a soft rolled corner. It is made from 100% polyester, a fibre chosen here for a printed cushion because it holds colour well and resists everyday wear.
A cushion this size sits comfortably on an armchair, a two or three seater sofa, or a made bed as an accent among larger cushions. The dark green ground and the botanical print make it an easy companion to natural materials, so it reads well on a rattan or cane chair, against a linen or wool throw, or dropped onto a leather seat. Because the birds and flowers carry warm ambers, pinks and greens, you can pick up any one of those tones in the rest of the room and the cushion will pull the scheme together.
The face is finished with a hidden zip closure, so the seam stays clean and there is no visible fastening to interrupt the print. Polyester velvet is a hard-wearing pile that keeps its look through regular use, which suits a cushion meant to be leant on rather than admired from a distance. The piped trim is worth a mention when you are styling: it holds the shape of the cushion when it is plumped, so the corners stay crisp. It is a print-led piece, so let it be the one pattern in a group and keep the cushions beside it plain.

Frequently Asked
What is the cushion made from?
It is made from 100% polyester, with a soft velvet face and a velvet reverse, so both sides feel the same to the touch.
Is the print on both sides?
No. The bird and floral print is on the front only, and the reverse is a plain soft green velvet, which is useful if you like to turn cushions over.
How big is this cushion?
It measures 43 by 43 centimetres, a standard square size that suits a sofa, an armchair or a made bed as an accent cushion.
How does the cover fasten?
There is a hidden zip closure along one edge, which keeps the seam clean and means no fastening interrupts the printed face.
What does the piped edge do?
The piped trim runs around the perimeter and holds the shape of the cushion when plumped, so the corners stay defined rather than rounding off.
Where is it made?
It is designed, printed and made in the United Kingdom.
