Description
This is the Opulence cushion in steel grey, a plain velvet square with a piped edge and a hidden zip. Velvet is what gives it its character: a dense, short pile that catches the light one way and holds shadow the other, so a single colour never reads as flat. Here that colour is a mid grey, the sort of quiet, warm-leaning tone that sits comfortably against almost anything. The face is unpatterned, which lets the pile and the piped trim do the work rather than a print.
At 55 by 55cm this is a generous square, big enough to anchor the corner of a sofa or to sit as a pair against the pillows on a bed. Plain velvet in a neutral grey is the easy member of any cushion group: it calms a busier patterned cushion beside it, and it gives the eye somewhere to rest. Use it in a living room to soften a leather or linen sofa, in a bedroom as a layer over the duvet, or in a reading chair where you want something substantial to lean into. Being a single colour, it works whether your scheme is muted and tonal or bright and mixed.
The cover is 100% polyester velvet, which wears well and keeps its colour, and it closes with a hidden zip so the cushion looks clean from every side. The piped edge is a neat finishing detail that holds the shape of the square and gives the seam a defined line. It is made in the UK. For styling, group it with textured knits and a linen or cotton throw, or set two of these plain steel squares either side of a patterned centre cushion to frame it.

Frequently Asked
What is the cushion cover made from?
The cover is 100% polyester velvet, a hard-wearing fabric with a short, dense pile that holds its colour well over time.
How big is this cushion?
It measures 55 by 55cm, a generous square that works well as a main cushion on a sofa or in pairs on a bed.
Does the cover come off?
Yes, it closes with a hidden zip, so the cover can be removed and the seam stays out of sight when the cushion is in use.
What is the piped edge?
The piped edge is a corded trim run around the seam. It defines the shape of the square and gives the edges a crisp, tailored line.
What colour is it?
This one is steel, a mid grey that leans warm and neutral, so it sits easily alongside both muted and brighter colour schemes.
