Description
This is a printed velvet cushion measuring 30 x 50cm, a long bolster shape rather than a square, which makes it a natural choice for the centre of a sofa or across the head of a bed. The front carries a busy summer meadow: bees and butterflies hovering among wildflowers in oranges, pinks and blues, with fine trailing stems climbing up from the lower edge against a deep fuchsia ground. The reverse is a plain velvet in the same tone, so it looks considered whichever way it falls.
The bolster proportion is what makes it useful. A 30 x 50cm cushion fills the horizontal space a pair of square cushions would leave awkwardly, so it works well laid in front of larger scatter cushions to give a sofa depth, or on its own along a bed or a bench. The rich fuchsia and the scattered brights sit happily against grey and neutral upholstery, where the meadow reads as the pop of colour in the arrangement. It suits a room that wants one confident piece rather than a matched set.
The cover is velvet front and back, which gives it a soft, dense pile that catches the light differently as you move past it. It is finished with a knife edged trim, the flat seamed edge that keeps the shape crisp rather than piped, and closes with a zip so the cover comes off when you need it to. The polyester construction is hard-wearing and holds colour well, which matters on a print this vivid. Designed, printed and made in the UK. Style it as the single anchor of a scheme and let everything else stay quiet around it.

Frequently Asked
Is the pattern on both sides of the cushion?
No. The printed wildflower meadow is on the front only, and the reverse is a plain velvet in a matching tone, so you can turn it either way.
Does the cover come off?
Yes, it closes with a zip fastening, so the cover can be removed from the pad whenever you need to.
What does the velvet feel like?
Velvet has a dense, short pile that feels soft to the touch and shifts in tone as the light moves across it, giving the colour real depth.
What size cushion is this and what does that shape suit?
It measures 30 x 50cm, a long bolster rather than a square, which suits laying across a bed or sitting in front of larger scatter cushions on a sofa.
Will the bright colours fade?
Polyester holds dye well and resists fading, which is part of why it is used for prints this vivid and hard-wearing.
