Stitch Plain Velvet Cushion - Sunset

This is a plain velvet cushion in a warm sunset orange, finished across two edges with a hand-worked blanket stitch in a pale contrast thread. The face is a single unbroken field of velvet, so the texture and the depth of the colour do the talking rather than any print. It measures 50 x 50cm, the standard large square that most people reach for when they want a cushion to hold its shape and sit with real presence on a sofa or bed. The front and back are both polyester velvet, and the trim is stitched right around the edge where the two panels meet.

A cushion this size earns its place at the back of a sofa, propped against the arm, or layered along the head of a bed. The rust-orange velvet reads as an autumnal, earthy tone that sits happily against browns, creams and deeper greens, and the pale stitching gives it a handmade, slightly rustic edge that keeps it from feeling too formal. Use one on its own as an accent against a neutral seat, or pair a couple to anchor a mix of patterned and plain cushions. It suits a living room or a bedroom equally well.

Velvet has a short, dense pile that catches the light and shifts tone as you move around it, which is why a plain velvet cushion never looks flat. The blanket stitch trim is worked by hand along the edge, both as a decorative finish and to reinforce the seam. There is a zip closure on the back, so the cover comes off for cleaning and the filling can be plumped or swapped as you like. The back panel is the same velvet as the front, so it looks finished from every angle.
