Rainbow Arch Chenille Sofa Cover

Bold repeating arches in rainbow bands, finished with a tasselled trim: this chenille throw-over does more for a tired sofa than any amount of rearranging the cushions. Chenille gives the surface a soft, slightly velvety hand and a subtle shift in tone as the light moves across the pile, so the pattern never looks flat. It is the sort of piece that sets the colour scheme for a whole room, with the rest of the scheme built around it afterwards.

Four colourways are offered. Lime Bloom is the brightest and freshest, Sky Cascade the coolest and calmest, Ember Rise runs to warm reds and burnt tones, and Noir Stream keeps the arch pattern against a darker ground for a more restrained look. One size is stocked, 180 x 130cm, which suits draping over a two or three seater, folding along the back of a larger sofa, or laying across the end of a bed.

Be clear on what this is: a draped cover, laid over the furniture, rather than a tailored fitted one cut to a particular sofa. It will shift a little with everyday use, so smooth it back into position when people get up. It is machine washable, hard wearing and pet friendly, which makes it a sensible layer over upholstery that gets sat on, napped on and generally lived with every day.
