Description
This watercolour highland cow cushion brings a shaggy, gentle face to the sofa, painted in soft washes of brown, rust and cream across a light grey front. The cow peers out from beneath a long, tousled fringe, with sweeping pale horns and loose drips of colour that fade away towards the lower edge, giving it the easy look of a watercolour painting. A neat mustard-yellow piping runs right round the edge and lifts the grey with a warm line of colour. It is a square cushion, 37.5cm high and 37.5cm wide and 13cm deep, a comfortable size for tucking into the corner of a sofa or setting against the pillows on a bed.
We think it is happiest in a living room, where the soft grey sits easily with cream, oatmeal, tweed and warm wood, and the mustard edge picks up any ochre or gold already in the room. It looks just as at home on an armchair, a window seat or the end of a bed in a guest room, and it brings a touch of the countryside to a town flat as readily as to a farmhouse kitchen chair. As a new home gift it is a thoughtful choice: a friendly, familiar face for a first sofa that makes a new place feel lived in from the very first evening.
The cow is printed across the front, and the piped edge gives the cushion a crisp, tailored outline. To keep it looking its best, give it a gentle brush now and then and keep it out of strong direct sunlight so the colours stay rich. For an easy country look, pair it with plain cushions in cream, oatmeal or mustard, letting the cow take centre stage on the sofa.
