Description
This is a square cushion with two very different faces. The front is a natural, oatmeal-toned cloth carrying a tufted bee at its centre, worked in raised loops of brown and gold so the body of the bee stands proud of the surface, with its wings picked out in fine grey stitching. Each of the four corners holds a spray of embroidered yellow flowers on green stems, framing the bee. The reverse is a plain mustard-gold velvet, and the whole cushion is finished with a small checked piped trim in the same gold running right around the edge. The face is 85% polyester and 15% linen; the velvet reverse is 100% polyester. It measures 45 x 45cm.
A cushion this size sits comfortably on an armchair, at the corner of a sofa, or on a bench or window seat where you want something to lean back into. The two-sided design means it earns its place whichever way you turn it: the embroidered bee face for a bit of detail, the plain velvet reverse when you want a calmer, solid block of colour. The natural ground and warm gold pairing suits a room with wooden furniture and soft, unfussy neutrals, and the playful bee motif gives it a country feel without tipping into anything twee.
The cover is tufted and embroidered on the front, with the piped trim adding a neat, defined edge that holds the cushion's shape. A zip closure is set into the seam, so the cover comes off when you need it to. The velvet reverse has a plush, close pile that is soft to the touch and catches the light differently as you move it. If you like the look, it belongs with other warm-toned, nature-led cushions and throws rather than anything stark or cool. Turn it bee-side out to bring the detail forward, or velvet-side out to let the colour do the work.
