Description
The Paradise cushion carries a detailed bird and flower print across a soft velvet-feel fabric, set against a black ground so the pinks, blues and greens of the design read with real depth. It measures 50 x 50cm, the standard square that sits comfortably in most cushion arrangements, and the cloth is 100% cotton, which gives the pile its sheen and its soft, brushed hand. The print is drawn in the chinoiserie style, an intricate display of birds and blooms with an Indian-inspired nature theme running through it.
A 50cm square is the workhorse size for a sofa or a bed, large enough to sit against a back cushion or to anchor a corner without crowding. This one earns its place on a plain sofa where the dark ground and the busy floral do the talking, or layered on a bed against calmer linens. Because the design covers the whole face rather than sitting in a central motif, it holds its own from across the room as well as up close, and the black background means it drops easily into a scheme that is already colourful.
The cover is finished with a blanket-stitched trim around the edge and closes on a hidden zip, so the fastening stays out of sight and the cover comes off for cleaning. The design is reversible, giving you the same print on both faces. Being pure cotton, it is easy to live with: cotton takes a wash well and comes back soft. Machine wash at 30 degrees, lay flat to dry for the best results, and iron as appropriate. The Paradise print comes in three colourways, so this black is one of a set you can mix or match across a room.

Frequently Asked
What is the cover made from?
It is 100% cotton with a soft velvet-feel pile, which gives it a gentle sheen and a brushed, cosy hand against the skin.
How do I wash it?
Machine wash at 30 degrees, then lay it flat to dry for the best results. Iron as appropriate to bring the pile back.
What size is the cushion?
It measures 50 x 50cm, the standard square that suits a sofa or a bed and layers easily with other cushion sizes.
Is the print on both sides?
Yes, the design is reversible, so you get the same bird and flower print on both faces of the cover.
How does the cover fasten?
It closes on a hidden zip along one edge, so the fastening stays out of sight and the cover slips off easily for cleaning.
Does the black ground suit a busy room?
The dark background settles the bright florals, so it drops neatly into a scheme that already has plenty of colour without fighting it.
