The Brook Jacquard Linen Cushion - Linen

The Brook is a 55 x 55cm outdoor cushion carrying a woodland scene in soft greens and warm greys on a cream ground. The design reads as a toile: deer grazing beneath a weeping willow, oaks and clipped shrubs, a stream threading through the foreground. It is a jacquard print worked as a repeating tapestry-style picture, drawn from the tradition of medieval hunting scenes, and it fills the full face of the cushion so the whole image sits in view. The cover is 100% polyester, chosen here for a reason: the yarn has been treated for outdoor use, so the cushion holds up to sun, damp and the occasional spill in a way a natural fibre would not.

Because it is built for outdoors, this is a cushion you can leave on a garden bench or a pair of patio chairs without dashing for it at the first cloud. It suits a covered terrace, a conservatory, a bench by the back door, or simply a spot indoors where you want a country-house note without the upkeep of a delicate fabric. The muted greens and greys sit easily against timber furniture, terracotta and pale walls, and the scene is calm rather than busy, so it settles a seat rather than shouting from it.

The face is finished with matching piping around all four edges, which gives the cover a defined, tailored line and helps it keep its shape in use. A zip closure runs along one side, discreet enough to stay out of the picture, so the cover can be taken off when you want to freshen it. The water-resistant treatment means light marks tend to sit on the surface rather than soak in, which makes day-to-day care straightforward. Style it singly on a chair or in a pair on a bench, and let the woodland scene do the talking against plain cushions in green or cream.

Is this cushion suitable for leaving outside?

Yes, the polyester cover is treated for outdoor use and is water-resistant, so it copes with sun, damp and everyday spills far better than an untreated fabric.

What is the cover actually made from?

The cover is 100% polyester. The word Linen in the name refers to the colour and range, not the fibre, so there is no linen in this cushion.

Can I take the cover off?

Yes, there is a discreet zip closure along one side of the cushion, so the cover can be removed when you want to refresh it.

How big is it and what shape?

It is a square cushion measuring 55 x 55cm, finished with matching piping around all four edges for a tailored look.

What colours are in the design?

The woodland scene is worked in soft greens and warm greys on a cream ground, showing deer, a weeping willow, oaks and clipped shrubs.
