Description
This is a plain velvet cushion in eau de nil, a soft, cool green that sits somewhere between sage and duck egg. There is no pattern to compete with; the appeal here is the velvet pile itself, which catches light differently as you move past it and gives the colour real depth. It measures 55 by 55cm, a generous square that reads as a proper feature cushion rather than a small accent, and it comes complete with a piped edge running the whole way round.
A cushion this size earns its place on a sofa, an armchair or across the head of a bed. The plain velvet is the sort of thing you buy to add a single considered note of colour, so it works whether you set it against a neutral linen sofa where the green does the talking, or layer it with patterned pieces and let it be the calm one. Two or three across a three-seater looks deliberate; a single one softens a hard-backed chair. Because the face is unpatterned, it pairs happily with bolder prints without clashing.
The face is 100% polyester velvet, which is why the pile stays dense and springs back rather than crushing flat, and why the colour holds well away from strong sunlight. The piped edge is a finishing seam sewn around the perimeter, which gives the cushion a defined shape and keeps the corners crisp rather than rounded. A hidden zip along one side lets you take the cover off, and the cushion is made in the UK. If you are building a scheme in cool greens, a plain velvet like this is the easiest way to tie warmer patterned pieces together.

Frequently Asked
Is the cover removable?
Yes, there is a hidden zip along one side, so you can take the cover off the pad whenever you need to.
What is the piped edge?
It is a seam sewn all the way around the perimeter that gives the cushion a defined outline and keeps the corners looking crisp rather than soft.
What colour is eau de nil?
It is a soft, cool green that sits between sage and duck egg, quiet enough to work as a single note of colour in most rooms.
Will the velvet crush flat over time?
The polyester pile is dense and springs back well, so with the occasional plump it holds its shape rather than matting down.
How big is it and where does it suit?
At 55 by 55cm it is a large square, generous enough to be a feature cushion on a sofa, an armchair or across a bed.
