The Meadow Embroidered Velvet Pillow 20"

The Meadow is a 20-by-20-inch sea-glass velvet throw pillow finished with a bronze embroidered bee motif. The design is stitched rather than printed, giving the motif real texture and a subtle change in sheen against the velvet pile. From across the room, the muted green-blue base reads almost like a solid; closer up, the embroidery becomes the detail that makes the pillow distinct.

Use one Meadow pillow as the patterned note in a seating group. It works well at the end of a sofa arrangement beside solid ivory, bronze, chocolate, or charcoal cushions. On a bed, place it in front of larger neutral shams so the bee remains upright and visible. Repeating the bronze tone once in a lamp, frame, or table detail helps the embroidery connect to the rest of the room without creating a matched set.

Velvet and raised embroidery need gentler care than a printed cotton cover. Spot clean only, avoid machine washing, and keep the pillow out of prolonged direct sunlight to reduce uneven fading. Rotate and fluff it periodically so the fill and velvet wear evenly. The 20-inch square size makes it substantial enough for a sofa while still fitting comfortably on a bed or deep chair.
