Description
The Salcombe Octopus cushion puts a hand-painted watercolour octopus front and centre, its inky body and coiling tentacles picked out in soft charcoal with warm amber suckers and eyes. The creature sits against a background of muted grey-blue and white vertical stripes, so the print reads as both a nautical study and a graphic pattern at once. It measures 43 x 43cm, the standard square that suits most sofas and beds, and is made from 100% polyester, a hard-wearing fabric that resists fading and holds a printed image cleanly.
This is a cushion for a coastal or seaside-inspired room, though the restrained grey-blue palette means it does not need a full nautical scheme to earn its place. It works on a linen sofa, propped against the arm of a reading chair, or layered on a bed with plainer cushions in cream, grey or the same soft blue. The reverse is a plain woven grey-blue, so the cushion can be turned to give a quieter face when you want the pattern to rest. It sits happily alongside the other creatures in the wider Salcombe range.
The face is finished with a velvet piped edge in a darker slate tone, which frames the print and gives the seam a defined, tailored line. Closure is a hidden zip, so the cover can be taken off the pad. Being polyester, it is easy to keep looking fresh and the printed colours stay bright with ordinary use. Style it as a single centrepiece against plain neutrals, or gather it with the lobster, crab, turtle and other Salcombe designs for a full coastal-collection wall of cushions along a bench or window seat.
