Description
This is a plain velvet cushion from our Opulence range, made in a single 55 x 55cm square with a smooth, close pile and a piped edge running right around the seam. The colourway is Cadillac, a strong warm pink that reads clear and saturated across the whole face, with no pattern to break it up. The velvet is a 100% polyester pile, which is what gives the surface its even sheen and the way the colour shifts a little as the light and the nap catch it from different angles.
A large square like this earns its place at the back of a sofa or an armchair, where it gives you something to lean into rather than just something to look at. The 55cm size is the one to reach for when you want a cushion with real presence, or when you are layering in front of smaller scatter cushions to build up depth. A saturated pink of this kind sits happily against grey, deep green or natural linen upholstery, and it is a quick way to bring warmth into a room that has gone a little flat. Being a plain, it also plays well alongside patterned cushions without competing with them.
The pile is polyester, so it holds its colour well and resists the fading that catches out some natural fibres in a sunny window. The cushion is finished with a piped trim around the edge, which gives the seam a defined, tailored line and helps the cover keep its shape through everyday use. A hidden zip closure runs along one side, so the cover comes off for cleaning and the fastening stays out of sight. It is made in the UK. If pink is not your room, the Opulence range runs across a spread of plain velvet colourways, so you can match or contrast to suit the rest of your scheme.

Frequently Asked
What is the cushion actually made of?
The pile is 100% polyester velvet, which gives it a soft, even surface, a gentle sheen and good colour retention over time.
How big is this cushion?
It is a large 55 x 55cm square, which makes it a good choice for the back of a sofa or for layering in front of smaller scatter cushions.
Does the cover come off for cleaning?
Yes, there is a hidden zip along one side, so the cover comes away from the pad without any visible fastening spoiling the line.
What does the piped trim do?
The piped edge runs around the whole seam, giving it a defined, tailored outline and helping the cover hold its square shape through everyday use.
Will the pink fade in a bright room?
Polyester holds colour well and resists the fading that can affect some natural fibres, so it copes better than most in a sunny spot.
What does it go with?
Being a plain velvet, it sits well against grey, green or natural upholstery and works alongside patterned cushions without competing with them.
