Stitch Plain Velvet Cushion - Pomegranate

This is a plain velvet cushion in a deep pomegranate red, finished at the edge with a hand-worked blanket stitch in a pale contrasting thread. The face is a smooth, even velvet with no printed pattern, so all the interest sits in the surface texture and that looped trim running around the border. It measures 50 x 50cm, the standard square that most sofas and beds are built around, and the front and back are both velvet in the same colour, with a plain reverse and a zip along one edge.

A square cushion this size does a lot of work in a living room. Set one against the arm of a sofa, layer two or three across a bed, or stand it upright in an armchair where the stitched edge catches the light. The pomegranate red is warm and saturated rather than bright, so it sits comfortably with darker neutrals, natural wood and other rich tones, and the pale stitching gives it a handmade, less formal feel than a plain piped cushion. It works as a single accent or as part of a group in mixed textures.

The cover is polyester velvet on both the front and the back, which gives you the soft, light-catching pile of velvet with hard-wearing fibres underneath. The blanket stitch trim is worked by hand around the edge, and a zip closure lets you take the cover off for cleaning or swap the inner as needed. Velvet holds its colour well and responds to a gentle brush to lift the pile. If you like the look, the stitched edge suits a relaxed, textured scheme built from layered cushions and throws.

What is the cover made from?

Both the front and the back are 100% polyester velvet, so you get the soft pile and light-catching surface of velvet with hard-wearing fibres that hold up to everyday use.

Does the cover come off?

Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge, so you can remove the cover for cleaning or take the inner out if you want to adjust or replace it.

What size is this cushion?

It measures 50 x 50cm, the standard large square that suits most sofas and beds and layers well alongside smaller cushions in a group.

Is there a pattern on the front?

No, the face is plain velvet in a single pomegranate red. The detail is the hand-worked blanket stitch in a pale contrasting thread that runs around the edge.

How should I care for the velvet?

Velvet keeps its look best with a gentle brush along the pile to lift and even it out. The removable cover makes cleaning more straightforward when needed.
