The Cutting Table · a common question
Do you have a soft blush pink cushion fabric?
Also asked as:light pink for my girls' roomAfter a soft blush pink
Most requests for pink arrive with a condition attached, my friends: not too bright. Two shades on the workshop's charts meet it.
The quick answer
The soft blush pinks on the workshop's charts are K31 on the bench-cushion range and velvet 27, a soft rose, on the floor-cushion chart. Neither is a loud pink. Ask for photos first: the workshop's photo of K31 shows it as piping, and one buyer saw velvet 27 lean slightly lilac on arrival. Velvet 26 is a dustier old rose.
SaveKey facts
- K31, on the bench-cushion range, sits in soft blush territory rather than a strong pink.
- Velvet 27 on the floor-cushion chart is a soft rose pink; velvet 26 is a dustier old rose.
- Velvet 21, called water green, is a light blue-green that suits sage or light-blue rugs.
- Other named shades include parliament blue (darker), ice blue, sour cherry, fuchsia and dried rose.
- The workshop can match a color from a reference photo you send.
- One buyer found velvet 27 looked slightly lilac when it arrived, so ask for photos before ordering.
- Swatches of K31 or velvet 27 are roughly palm-sized, about 4 to 6 in (10 to 15 cm) square; ask for them before the cushion order, since transit time varies with the season.
- Zippered covers come off and wash at 86°F (30°C) max on a gentle cycle, which keeps a pale pink fresh.

Color is easier to settle in a conversation than on a screen. Tell the workshop about the room and the light it gets, and the fabric choice follows. — Élodie
Leave your details and the workshop will call you to confirm measurements, fabric, foam and piping. No prices, dates or payment on this page: it is a request, not an order.
Two pinks that whisper instead of shout
K31 sits in soft blush territory: a ballet slipper, not bubblegum. No cushion had been made fully in K31 when a buyer asked, so the workshop sent a photo of it as piping against a body fabric.
Velvet 27 is the soft rose. Velvet carries its color in the pile, so it shifts with the light; one buyer found 27 leaned slightly lilac at home. Daylight never lies; your screen sometimes does. Ask for a daylight photo or a swatch and hold it where the cushion will live. What color is the light in that room at four in the afternoon?

Three soft pinks for cushions: K31, a soft blush; velvet 27, a soft rose; velvet 26, a dustier old rose. None of them shouts.

Buyer questions
- A common question
How pink is K31, really? I'm after a soft blush.
The workshop's answerK31 sits in soft blush territory rather than a strong pink. No cushion had been made fully in it yet, so the workshop sent a photo of K31 used as piping.
- A common question
Do you have a soft light pink, or a sage or light blue to go with a rug?
The workshop's answerThe pink velvet is 27, a soft rose. Number 21, water green, is a light blue-green that suits sage or light-blue rugs. The workshop can also match a reference photo.
- A common question
Which linen is closest to sage green?
The workshop's answerL-24, a soft, muted gray-green. L-25 is darker and cooler and can lean slightly teal in daylight. Ask to see L-24 photographed beside a neutral.
Questions buyers ask next
Is blush pink the same as dusty rose?
Not quite. On these charts K31 is the soft blush, velvet 27 a soft rose pink and velvet 26 a dustier old rose. For a muted, grown-up pink, ask to see 26 beside 27.
Why can pink velvet look different at home than on screen?
Velvet pile catches light at different angles, and screens shift warm and cool tones. One buyer saw velvet 27 lean slightly lilac on arrival, so judge a daylight photo near your window.
Can I try blush pink as piping on a neutral cushion?
Yes, and that is how the workshop's own photo of K31 shows it: a blush line against a body fabric. A thin pink edge lets you live with the shade before committing a whole cushion.
