Description
This is the Paradise cushion cover in yellow, a 50x50cm square printed with a detailed bird and flower design on a velvet-feel cotton. The print is drawn in the chinoiserie style, with birds perched among roses, blossom and trailing foliage across a bright yellow ground, and the same design continues over the reverse. The fabric is 100% cotton, which is what gives the cover its soft handle and quiet sheen while keeping it breathable and easy to launder.
At 50x50cm this is a standard scatter-cushion size, the one most sofas, armchairs and beds are set up for, so it sits comfortably against larger back cushions or in a pair at either end of a settee. The yellow ground is the boldest of the three colourways the cover comes in, and it reads as a warm, saturated anchor rather than a background, so it works best where you want the cushion to do the talking. It suits a plainer sofa in linen or a neutral weave, and it holds its own in a bedroom against calm bed linen.
The cover is finished with a blanket-stitched trim around the edge and a hidden zip closure, so it slips off cleanly for washing and the fastening stays out of sight. The reversible design means you get the full print on both faces and can turn the cushion without showing a plain back. Cotton takes a wash well: machine wash at 30 degrees, lay flat to dry, and iron as needed to bring the surface back. The Paradise cover also comes in two further colourways if you are pulling a scheme together across more than one seat.

Frequently Asked
Is the cover a fixed size?
Yes, it is a 50x50cm square, which is the standard scatter-cushion size most sofas and beds are set up for, so a filler pad in that size will fit.
What is the fabric?
It is 100% cotton with a velvet feel, so it is soft to the touch, breathable and gives the surface a gentle sheen while staying easy to launder.
Can I use both sides?
Yes, the design is reversible, so the full bird and flower print appears on both faces and you can turn the cushion without ever showing a plain back.
How do I wash it?
Machine wash the cover at 30 degrees, lay it flat to dry rather than tumbling, and iron as needed to smooth the surface back afterwards.
How does the cover come off?
There is a hidden zip along one edge, so the cover slips off cleanly for washing and the fastening stays out of sight when the cushion is in use.
