Description
This is a plain velvet cushion in a grass green, finished along its edges with a blanket stitch worked in a pale contrast thread. The velvet gives the front and back a short, dense pile that catches the light and reads as a deep, saturated green from most angles. It measures 50 x 50cm, the standard square size for a scatter cushion, which makes it easy to slot in beside pieces you already own without having to think about proportions.
A square cushion of this size earns its place on a sofa, an armchair or across the head of a bed. The plain face means it works as a calm foil to busier patterned cushions, or in a group of two or three where the stitched edge is the only detail doing the talking. Grass green sits comfortably against natural woods, cream and off-white, and warmer neutrals, and it holds its own in a room that leans towards botanical or garden tones. Because there is no print to line up, you can turn it any way and it looks considered.
The defining detail here is the hand-worked blanket stitch that runs right around the edge, picked out in a lighter thread so the outline stands away from the body of the cushion. The cover closes with a zip, so the cover comes off the inner when you need it to and the pad can be swapped or plumped. The velvet is polyester through both faces, which is a hard-wearing choice for a cushion that gets sat against every day. Style it plain and let the stitching be the point, or layer it in with texture for a fuller, more relaxed arrangement.

Frequently Asked
What size is this cushion and what will it suit?
It is a 50 x 50cm square, the usual size for a scatter cushion, so it sits well on a standard sofa, an armchair or a bed without looking under or oversized.
What is the cover made from?
The cover is polyester velvet on both the front and the back, which gives it a soft short pile and makes it a hard-wearing choice for daily use.
Does the cover come off?
Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge, so you can take the cover off the inner pad to swap it, plump it or clean it as needed.
What is the stitched edge?
The edge carries a blanket stitch worked in a pale contrast thread, running all the way around, which is the main decorative detail on an otherwise plain face.
Is there a pattern to line up when styling it?
No, the face is plain green, so you can turn it any way you like and group it freely with patterned cushions or with other plain textures.
