What is the pattern on this set?
A linked oval trellis runs across each cover, cut in a deeper gold and stitched over a soft golden yellow base. The small, repeating ovals form a neat grid, so the cushions have a tidy geometric look with a warm glow.
How does the gold layer change the look?
The deep gold is only a few shades darker than the base, so the trellis looks rich rather than stark. It catches the eye in warm light, and the tone-on-tone effect keeps the set easy to live with in larger numbers.
Which rooms and colours suit it?
Golden yellow is warm and bright. It looks lovely on grey, navy, white or deep green sofas and pairs well with brass, dark wood, terracotta and indigo prints. It can bring a lot of warmth to a dull corner.
What size are these covers?
Each cover is 16x16 inches, and you get five in the set. Fillers are not included, so get 16x16 inch inserts. That is a standard square size that fits most sofas, chairs and beds.
How do I wash them?
Dry cleaning is preferred. If you hand wash, be gentle, use a mild detergent and wash them separately from other fabrics. Dry them in the shade, away from strong direct sun.
Is this a good gifting option?
Yes, a warm yellow set of five handmade covers makes a cheerful gift for anyone who enjoys colour at home. It is something used every day, and the story of the women's group in Barmer who stitched it adds meaning to the gift.
