Description
This outdoor cushion carries a large watercolour orchid print, pink blooms opening across a duck egg blue ground with deep green tropical leaves threading between them. The whole cover is made from 100% polyester, printed edge to edge so the flowers run right off the sides rather than sitting inside a border. It measures 43cm square, the size most scatter cushions are cut to, so it drops straight into a garden chair or a bench without looking lost or crowded.
It is built for outside. Polyester is water resistant, and this one is described as made to withstand showers and spills, which is the difference between a cushion you carry in every time the sky turns and one you can leave on the seat. It reads as a garden piece rather than a living room one, and it sits happily on decking, a rattan sofa, a wooden bench or a windowsill that catches the rain. The pink and green against blue is warm without being loud, so it pairs as easily with a caramel throw as with plainer neutral seating.
The print continues onto a coordinating reverse, so there is no wrong way to plump it and no plain back to hide. A hidden zip runs along one edge, which keeps the pattern uninterrupted and lets you take the cover off. Because polyester holds colour well and shrugs off damp, the fabric stays true through a season of use outdoors. It is a single square in the Orchids range, an easy way to bring a bold floral note to a garden set or to break up a bench of neutral cushions with one strong bloom.

Frequently Asked
Can this cushion stay outside in the rain?
It is made from water resistant polyester and designed to withstand showers and spills, so it copes with the odd downpour, though bringing it in for prolonged wet weather will keep it at its best.
What is on the back of the cushion?
The reverse carries a coordinating print rather than a plain fabric, so both faces show the orchid design and there is no wrong side to keep hidden.
How big is it and what does it suit?
It is a 43cm square, the standard scatter cushion size, so it fits garden chairs, benches and rattan sofas and layers easily with other cushions of the same size.
Does the cover come off?
Yes, a hidden zip runs along one edge, so the cover can be removed while keeping the printed pattern uninterrupted across the front.
What is it made of?
The cover is 100% polyester, chosen for outdoor use because it holds its printed colour well and resists damp far better than natural fibres would.
