Flowerfield Chenille Sofa Cover

The pattern here sits between floral and geometric, which is a harder trick than it sounds. The motifs read as stylised flower heads at a distance but resolve into a repeating grid up close, so the cover suits a room that wants some softness without committing to a full chintz. Woven into chenille, the pattern has a slight relief rather than sitting flat on the surface.

Five colourways are available and they are unusually well judged: Soft Mint Green, Rusty Orange, Warm Taupe, Muted Lavender and a Classic Black and White. The first four are all dusty, low-saturation tones that work with neutral walls and natural wood, while the monochrome version is the one to choose for a more graphic room. Two sizes cover an armchair or two-seater and a standard three-seat sofa.

Chenille is the right fabric for a cover that will be used all year. It is soft to sit on, breathable enough not to feel stifling in July, and substantial enough to hide tired upholstery underneath. It takes the spills, pet hair and general wear that would otherwise reach the sofa itself. Machine wash cold and line dry rather than tumble drying, which is what keeps chenille from shedding and losing its pile.
