Corduroy Cushion Covers | Luxury Striped Throw Pillow Covers For Sofas, Beds and Armchairs

Corduroy is having a moment in interiors for a reason that has nothing to do with fashion: it has texture you can see from across a room. Flat cotton and linen covers read as colour only, so a sofa dressed in them is a colour exercise. Ribbed fabric catches light along every wale, which gives a cushion depth without any pattern at all.

Covers rather than complete cushions is the practical format. You keep the inners you already own, you store a second set flat in a drawer rather than stacking whole cushions in a cupboard, and you change a room's palette seasonally for a fraction of the cost and space of buying cushions twice. Buy the inner one size larger than the cover, because a cover filled to its exact size always looks slightly under stuffed once it is sat on.

They suit sofas, armchairs, beds, window seats, and reading corners. Buy inners one size larger than the cover for a full look rather than a flat one, which is the single thing that separates a styled cushion from a limp one. Wash according to the care label and avoid over drying, which flattens the pile. Buy it now.
