Regency Stripe Jacquard Velvet Cushion - Midnight

This is a square velvet cushion in a deep midnight blue, woven with a tonal jacquard stripe that runs the full height of the face. The stripe is worked into the cloth rather than printed on it, so the bands catch the light differently as the pile shifts, giving the surface a quiet movement even though the whole cushion is one colour. It measures 45 x 45cm, the size most sofas and armchairs are designed around, and it is finished with a piped trim that follows every edge.

A cushion this deep in tone earns its place on a lighter sofa or a bed dressed in neutrals, where the midnight blue reads as an anchor rather than a shout. It sits happily against grey, cream or natural linen, and the vertical stripe gives it a little more to say than a plain velvet would. Group a pair at each end of a three-seater, or set one against a patterned throw where you want a solid tone to steady the arrangement. It suits a living room, a reading chair or the head of a bed equally well.

The cover is made from polyester velvet, a hard-wearing pile that holds its colour and resists the flattening that softer fibres can suffer under daily use. The piped trim gives the edges definition and helps the cushion hold its square shape, and a zip closure means the cover comes off when it needs attention. The face is a soft jacquard velvet, and the stripe pattern is part of the weave, not a surface treatment. It is offered in a range of six colourways, so a single tone or a mixed set is easily built.

Is the stripe printed or woven into the fabric?

The stripe is a jacquard, meaning it is woven into the velvet as part of the cloth, so it will not fade or wear off the way a printed pattern eventually can.

What size cushion pad do I need for this cover?

The cover measures 45 x 45cm, so a 45cm pad fits it well. Many people size up slightly to a 50cm pad for a fuller, plumper look if they prefer.

Does the cover come off for cleaning?

Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge, so the cover lifts off the pad when it needs attention rather than staying fixed in place.

What is the piped trim for?

The piping runs along every seam to give the edges a clean, defined line and to help the cushion hold its square shape over time.

Will the midnight blue work in a light room?

A deep tone like this reads as an anchor against pale walls and neutral upholstery, adding depth without overwhelming a bright, airy scheme.

Is this cushion sold on its own or as a pair?

It is sold as a single cushion, so order two if you would like a matching pair at each end of a sofa.
