Description
This is a plain 45 x 45cm cushion in a deep teal, edged all the way round with a run of contrasting coral pompoms. The face is a faux velvet made from 100% cotton, so what you get is the short, soft nap of a velvet pile with the feel of a natural fibre against your skin. The pompom trim follows every edge, front and back, which is the detail that lifts it out of the ordinary plain cushion category and gives it a relaxed, bohemian character.
A single plain cushion like this earns its place by working with almost anything. Drop it onto a neutral sofa and the teal does the talking; set it against a busier print and the plain velvet ground gives the eye somewhere to rest while the coral pompoms pick up an accent colour elsewhere in the room. It suits a living room sofa, a reading chair, the head of a bed or a window seat equally well, and because the trim runs on all four sides it looks finished whichever way it falls. Buy it as a pair or a trio if you want the colour to carry across a whole seating arrangement.
The cushion is faced in cotton velvet front and reverse, closed with a hidden zip so the pad stays put and the fastening never breaks the line of the fabric, and finished with a soft knife edge rather than a boxed border. That soft edge is what lets the pompoms sit proud all the way round. Because this is cotton velvet, it is dry clean only, and a cool iron may be used if needed. Handle the pompom trim gently and it will keep its shape and its colour.

Frequently Asked
Is a cushion pad included or do I buy that separately?
The listing is for the cushion cover with its pompom trim. A hidden zip lets you insert or remove a pad, so check whether a pad is supplied at the point of purchase.
What size pad should I use for this cover?
The cover measures 45 x 45cm. A 45cm pad gives a snug, plump fill; some people size up slightly for a fuller look, but 45cm is the safe match.
Can I machine wash it?
No. This is a cotton velvet cushion and it is dry clean only, which protects both the velvet pile and the pompom trim from distorting in a wash.
Does the pompom trim run all the way around?
Yes, the contrasting coral pompoms follow the entire edge of the cushion, so it reads as finished from any angle whichever way it sits.
What does a faux velvet cotton face feel like?
It has the short, soft nap of velvet with the touch of cotton behind it, giving a warm, cosy surface that is pleasant to lean against.
Will it work with patterned furnishings?
Very well. Being plain, the teal ground calms a busy scheme, while the coral pompoms give you an accent colour to echo elsewhere in the room.
