Description
This is a velvet door stop printed with a Scandinavian woodland scene, worked in cream against a deep berry ground. Look closely at the print and you will find hares, foxes, a leaping stag, squirrels and small birds threaded between branches, leaves and simple flowers, all drawn in a clean folk-art line. The body is soft printed velvet on the front and a plain velvet reverse in the same berry tone, and a cream velvet loop is stitched to the top so you can pick it up and carry it from room to room.
A door stop earns its place where a draught or a door swing is a daily nuisance, so this one suits a hallway, a living room, a bedroom or a study equally well. It sits on the floor and holds a door open against a breeze, and the top handle means you are not stooping to wrestle a weighted bag off the carpet each time. The berry and cream palette works with warm neutral walls and reads as a Scandi or rustic note rather than a loud one, and the woodland print gives it more to say than a plain block would.
The cover is made from 100% polyester in a velvet finish, which is why it feels soft to the hand while standing up to daily knocks and the toe of a shoe. Inside, the filling combines polyester with sand, and it is the sand that gives the weight a door stop needs to do its job without sliding. The velvet reverse means there is no wrong side on show. The supplier makes a matching Skandi Woodland duvet set, so if you like the print here you can carry it through to the bed.

Frequently Asked
What is the door stop filled with?
It is filled with a mix of polyester and sand. The sand adds the weight that keeps it planted on the floor so it can hold a door without sliding away.
Is the fabric velvet all the way round?
Yes. The printed woodland design is on the front and a plain velvet reverse in the same berry tone finishes the back, so there is no plain wrong side on show.
What does the loop on top do?
The cream velvet loop is a carry handle. It lets you lift and move the door stop between rooms without bending down and grabbing at the body.
Where does this door stop suit best?
Anywhere a door needs holding open against a draught or a swing, such as a hallway, living room, bedroom or study. The Scandi print suits warm neutral schemes.
What is the cover made from?
The cover is 100% polyester in a velvet finish, which keeps it soft to the touch while coping with everyday knocks and the occasional kick from a shoe.
Does the print match anything else?
The supplier makes a matching Skandi Woodland duvet set in the same design, so you can coordinate the door stop with the bedding if you wish.
