Description
The Solene Ruffle cushion pairs a soft matt velvet face with a striped ruffle trim, and the two textures are what make it. Both sides of the cushion are the same sage velvet, so it reads the same whichever way it falls, while the frilled edge is worked in a striped fabric that carries a little linen in the blend for a drier, more natural feel against the smooth pile. The case is 100% polyester velvet; the trim is 85% polyester with 15% linen. It is made in a single 45cm square size, filling a sofa corner or an armchair without crowding it.
This is a cushion for a relaxed living room or a bedroom, and it suits informal, layered settings rather than sharp modern ones. The ruffle gives it a soft, gathered edge that sits happily against a plain linen sofa or an upholstered headboard, and the sage tone is quiet enough to work alongside creams, warm neutrals and other muted greens. Group two or three together, or set it beside a patterned cushion to let the plain velvet balance a busier print. The frill catches the light differently from the flat face, so it holds interest even in a scheme built entirely from soft colours.
The velvet is smooth and dense to the touch, and a discreet zip along one edge lets you take the cover off the pad when you need to. Velvet has a pile that shows its direction, so light and shade will shift across the face as you move around it, which is part of the character rather than a flaw. The striped ruffle is finished on all four edges and frames the plain centre. If you like the look, the wider range gives you room to build a set around it.

Frequently Asked
What is the cushion made from?
The case is 100% polyester velvet and the ruffle trim is 85% polyester with 15% linen, which gives the frill a slightly drier, more textured feel than the smooth face.
Is the cushion the same on both sides?
Yes, both faces are the same sage velvet, so it looks consistent however it sits and you do not need to worry about a right way up.
Can I take the cover off?
There is a discreet zip along one edge, so you can slip the cover off the pad whenever you want to clean it or store it flat.
What size is it?
It is a single 45cm square, which is a generous size for a sofa corner, an armchair or layering against pillows on a bed.
Does the velvet change colour as I move around it?
Velvet has a directional pile, so you will see light and shade shift across the face depending on the angle, which is normal for the fabric.
