The pile on this cover is deeper and more evenly cut than on a standard velvet, which is what gives it the quality of catching light in bands as you move past it. Run a hand across it and the direction of the nap changes the shade slightly, so a single solid colour ends up with far more visual depth than the same colour in a flat woven cotton or a printed panel.
This is the simplest way to change how a sofa looks without replacing the cushions inside it. Inserts stay where they are, the covers come off, and a set of four in a new shade resets the whole seating area for the price of a takeaway. It is a particularly useful trick in a rented room or anywhere the furniture itself is not yours to change, and it takes about ten minutes.
Four solid shades are available, all chosen to work as a group rather than as separate one off colours, so mixing two across a sofa still reads as one scheme. Cut to the standard 45 by 45 cm insert size. Brush the pile with a soft brush if it flattens where people lean, and avoid pressing it with an iron. Supplied as a cover only, without a pillow insert included.
