Description
This is the Opulence draught excluder, a long plain velvet bolster in a deep burgundy red. It is a single continuous cushion rather than a set, made from 100% polyester velvet with a plain reverse and soft edging. The face carries no pattern at all, so the whole of its character comes from the pile catching the light: the same wine tone reads darker where the fabric folds and brighter along the top edge, which is what gives a plain velvet its depth.
A draught excluder does one job and does it at the foot of a door or along a windowsill, sealing the gap where cold air slides in. This one suits a hallway, a living room or a bedroom where you want to hold the warmth in on a cold evening. The rich burgundy sits well against neutral walls and darker woodwork, and because there is no print to clash it works alongside patterned cushions or a busy rug without fighting them. Lay it flat against the base of an internal or external door, or use it along a draughty sash window.
The velvet here is polyester rather than a natural fibre, which is the practical choice for something that sits on the floor: polyester velvet is hard-wearing, holds its colour and resists crushing better than many soft pile fabrics, so it keeps its look through daily nudging by feet and doors. The reverse is plain and the edging is soft, so there is no hard trim to catch. It is made in the UK. The plain velvet finish is the quiet backdrop to a room, letting your other textiles carry the pattern while this holds the colour and keeps the cold out.

Where is the best place to use it?
Lay it flat against the base of an internal or external door, or along a draughty window, wherever cold air slides in through a gap.
