Description
The Solene cushion pairs a matt velvet face and reverse with a striped ruffle trim that frames every edge. The velvet is a warm, saturated yellow, soft to the touch on both sides, while the trim runs in a fine cream and ochre stripe with a linen-like texture. It measures 45 x 45cm, the standard square that most cushion pads and covers are built around, so replacements and pairings are easy to source. The cover case is 100% polyester and the trim is a polyester and linen blend, giving a face that holds its colour and a ruffle with a little natural texture running through it.
This is a cushion for a sofa, an armchair or the head of a bed, and the ruffled edge means it reads as decorative rather than plain even at a distance. The strong yellow sits well against neutral upholstery, natural linen and cream walls, and it works as the single bright note in an otherwise calm scheme or layered up with patterned and textured cushions in a mix. Because both sides are the same velvet, it looks finished whichever way it lands when someone drops it back onto the seat.
An easy zip closure runs along one edge, so the cover comes off when you want to refresh it and the cushion keeps a clean line when it is closed. Velvet has a directional pile, so light catches it differently as you move around the room, which is what gives the face its depth of colour. The trim's ruffle is gathered rather than flat, standing slightly proud of the seam as the side view shows. Style it on its own for a single spot of colour, or set it alongside a striped or floral ruffle cushion for a layered, relaxed look.

Frequently Asked
Is the velvet on both sides of the cushion?
Yes, the face and the reverse are both the same matt velvet, so the cushion looks finished whichever way round it sits on your seat.
What size cushion pad does this cover take?
The cover measures 45 x 45cm, the common square size, so a standard 45cm pad will fill it well without looking under or overstuffed.
Can I take the cover off?
Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge, so the cover slips off for a refresh and closes back to a clean line.
What is the ruffle trim made from?
The trim is a blend of 85% polyester and 15% linen in a fine cream and ochre stripe, which gives it a little natural texture.
What does the yellow work with?
The saturated yellow sits well against neutral sofas, natural linen and cream walls, either as a single bright note or layered with patterned cushions.
