Description
The Morning Chorus cushion carries a hand-painted watercolour design of garden birds set amongst countryside flora, with a goldfinch and a smaller songbird picked out among cornflowers, thistles and trailing foliage. It measures 45 x 45cm, a standard square that suits most seating without swamping it. The face is cotton and the reverse is a cotton and linen blend, so you get the softness of natural fibres against a print with real depth of colour.
This is a reversible cushion, which is the reason to choose it. Turn it over and the floral face gives way to a soft check in pink and green, the two patterns sharing the same palette so they sit happily in the same room. That flexibility earns its place on a garden bench, a conservatory chair or an outdoor sofa, where you can flip from the busy print to the quieter check depending on how the rest of the seating is dressed. It works equally well brought indoors on a reading chair or the end of a bed.
The cushion is finished with a piped trim running the full edge, which you can see clearly on the corner and side views, and it fastens with a concealed zip so the cover comes off when you need it to. The fabric is described as water-resistant, which is what makes it sensible for garden furniture where the odd shower is a fact of life. Cotton and linen both wash and wear kindly and keep their handle over time. If you like the country look, the two faces give you two ways to style the same seat through the seasons.
