What is the Elaine Smith “Artful Midnight” 20″ square pillow and where is it best used?
The “Artful Midnight” 20″ × 20″ pillow by Elaine Smith features an elegant ombré gradient from deep navy (midnight) to natural white, woven in a textured pattern. It is designed for both indoor and outdoor use—ideal for lounge chairs, outdoor sofas, benches or covered patio seating where you want a modern, artistic accent that also stands up to the elements.
What materials and performance features does it include?
This pillow is made with solution-dyed acrylic performance fabric, water-, stain- and fade-resistant—making it suitable for outdoor use. It includes a sealed 100% polyester fiber insert and a tailored hidden zipper for cover removal and cleaning.
What are the dimensions and how should I style it?
Dimensions: approximately 20″ wide × 20″ high (square size). Style tip: Use this pillow on a neutral-toned outdoor sofa (sand, ivory or light grey) or bench. The midnight-to-white ombré pattern adds depth and texture—pair it with furniture frames in natural wood (teak/acacia), dark metal, or rattan. Layer with accent pillows in muted teal, soft coral, or textured linen for added interest.
How do I clean and care for this pillow to maintain its appearance and lifespan?
Routine care: brush or shake off loose debris; after rain, blot or shake off excess moisture. For deeper cleaning: unzip cover (if allowed), machine-wash cold or spot-clean with mild soap and lukewarm water; rinse well and air-dry flat. Avoid high heat or dry-cleaning. Store indoors or cover during heavy weather/off-season.
Is the cover removable and what about warranty/returns?
Yes—the hidden zipper allows for removal of the cover. The pillow is made in the USA using premium materials. Warranty: The manufacturer offers a 5-year warranty against loss of color, strength and abrasion under normal use. Return policies vary by retailer—verify at purchase.
How does the “Artful Midnight” colorway integrate into décor and outdoor seating schemes?
The midnight-blue to white gradient creates a sophisticated neutral accent that fits both modern and transitional outdoor seating zones. Use it as a key accent pillow on a seating group; pair with natural wood or dark-metal frames, and complement with accent pillows in muted teal, soft caramel or textured gris tones for layered style. The palette works especially well when you want a “night sky” mood or seaside elegance.
