The Elizabeth Paisley cushion from de Le Cuona is a considered accent rather than a loud one. Paisley is a pattern that can easily tip into the traditional, but handled quietly, in a muted colour like Pheasant, it becomes more of a texture than a motif. The suede trim gives the edge a defined finish and a soft, slightly matt contrast to the cloth, which adds tactile interest without adding noise. It is the sort of cushion that rewards a second look.
The cushion measures 55 cm in width and is sold each, so you can buy a single piece or build up a group. The colourway is Pheasant, and the reference is ELI4C. We have not been given the full material composition, the depth or the details of the insert, so we will not quote any here. Please ask us and we will confirm the specification with de Le Cuona, including the filling and any care guidance, before you order.
We would use one or two of these on a plain sofa, set against solid-coloured cushions in a quiet tone so the paisley is allowed to sit alone as the pattern. On a bed, a pair at the head in front of a plain linen pillowcase works well, and on a reading chair a single cushion adds a little warmth. Pheasant pairs naturally with oatmeal, tobacco and soft olive, and looks well beside dark wood or aged brass.
A cushion with suede trim should be treated with a little care. Keep it away from direct sunlight, which can fade colour over time, and avoid damp or spills near the edge. We would not leave it where it will be heavily leaned on every day, and would plump it gently rather than beating it. If a stain does occur, ask us for the care guidance first, as suede and printed cloth often need different treatment from an ordinary cushion.
