Description
This crushed velvet cushion brings soft shimmer and a flash of diamante to a sofa, bed or armchair. It is a neat square, 35cm wide, 35cm high and 7cm deep, covered in silver velvet with a crushed finish, so the pile catches the light in paler and deeper patches as you move around the room. At its centre sits a rectangular diamante piece: one large faceted stone framed by a ring of smaller clear stones and edged with a fine band of tiny sparkling ones, set into the velvet like an oversized button.
We like it most where a room needs a little glamour without much effort. On a grey or cream sofa it lifts plain upholstery, and on a bed it sits happily in front of white or charcoal pillows, the silver tone picking up mirrored furniture, chrome lamps and glass. At 35cm square it is a compact size, so it works well on an armchair, a bedroom chair or a window seat as easily as on a larger sofa, and it layers neatly in front of bigger cushions. Because the colour is a soft, pale silver, it sits comfortably alongside blush pink, navy, black and white schemes.
The cushion is covered in velvet, with the diamante centre fixed to the front, so the sparkle sits right where it is seen. As general good practice for velvet, brush the pile lightly with a soft dry cloth to keep it even, and treat small marks with a cloth that is only just damp rather than soaking the fabric. Handle the stones gently, and keep them away from loose knits and delicate fabrics that could snag. For a fuller look, pair it with plain velvet cushions in grey or white so the diamante has room to shine; it also wraps up neatly as a gift for anyone who loves a little sparkle.
