Block Print Floral Pillow Covers, 20 x 20 in, Set of 2, Sage Green

Description

Covers only, inserts not included, at 20 by 20 inches, which is bed and large-sofa territory rather than armchair territory. A 22 inch insert gives the taut, filled face; a 20 inch one leaves it softer. The zipper is hidden in the bottom seam, so fold the insert, feed it through and open it out inside to push the corners full.

The print is the reason to choose this pair. A block-print botanical pattern has the slight irregularity of something stamped rather than the mechanical evenness of a modern repeat, which is what makes it read as vintage on a bed of plain white linen and stops it looking like a photograph of a pattern printed onto cloth.

Sage is the softest ground that pattern could sit on. It keeps a floral from turning sweet, so the pair works in a bedroom without committing the room to a cottage style, and at 20 inches two of them standing against a headboard are enough to finish a bed without any further layers of cushions in front.

The cloth is 90 percent polyester with 10 percent cotton, which is a harder-wearing mix than it sounds and holds the print without fading quickly. Machine wash cold and separately, do not bleach, tumble dry low.
