Ethelyn Olive Accent Pillow

Olive is a versatile "new neutral" that anchors a room beautifully. Because this pillow features a clean knife-edge finish and a solid pattern, it acts as the perfect foundation for layering. We suggest pairing it with a cream-colored geometric print or a textured lumbar pillow. The subtle sheen of the viscose in the fabric will catch the light, adding a sophisticated touch that distinguishes it from basic cotton accents.

This pillow is crafted from a 50% cotton and 50% viscose blend, offering a premium tactile experience. While the cotton provides breathable, natural softness and durability, the viscose adds a silk-like luster and a remarkably smooth "hand" or feel. This combination is ideal for transitional decor, where the goal is to balance casual comfort with an upscale aesthetic.

A 20-inch square pillow is widely considered the "gold standard" size for standard sofas and loveseats. It is large enough to provide significant lumbar support and visual impact without overwhelming the seating area. For a professionally layered look, our stylists often recommend placing these 20-inch accents in front of larger 22 or 24-inch pillows to create depth and dimension.

Natural-based fibers like cotton and viscose are highly breathable, which is a significant advantage in humid environments. Unlike some heavy synthetic materials that can feel trapped or "sticky" in high moisture, this blend stays relatively cool and comfortable to the touch. To keep the fibers fresh in coastal areas, we suggest occasionally "fluffing" the pillow in a well-ventilated room to maintain its loft and airflow.

To preserve the integrity of the natural-based fibers, this pillow should be spot-cleaned only. We recommend using a clean, damp cloth with a small amount of mild, pH-neutral detergent. Gently dab the area rather than rubbing to avoid pilling the viscose fibers. Always line dry the piece afterward; avoiding the high heat of a dryer prevents shrinkage and helps the pillow maintain its 20-inch square shape.

This cotton-viscose blend is a great choice for families looking for a smooth surface that doesn't easily trap pet hair or dust. However, because it is a "spot clean only" decorative item, we recommend using it as a secondary accent rather than a floor pillow or primary cushion in high-spill zones. The tight machine-made construction offers good durability for everyday decorative use.
