Elaine Smith “Ombre Grigio” Lumbar Pillow Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Elaine Smith “Ombre Grigio” Lumbar Pillow and where is it best used?
The Ombre Grigio Lumbar Pillow is a 12″×20″ (or similar lumbar size) decorative throw pillow by Elaine Smith. It features a soft ombré gradient in shades of grey and is designed for both indoor and outdoor use—perfect for use on lounge chairs, outdoor sofas, benches or covered patio settings where you want a sophisticated 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 (often Sunbrella®) which is fade-, water- and stain-resistant—making it suitable for outdoor use. It includes a sealed 100% polyester-fiber insert and a hidden zipper for easy cover removal. Spot-cleaning or cold-machine washing (depending on cover) is supported.
What are the dimensions and how should I style it?
Typical size: approx. 12″ high × 20″ wide (lumbar shape). Style tip: Place the pillow on a neutral-tone outdoor sofa (sand, ivory, drift-grey) or bench, use it to add a subtle but rich grey gradient layer. Pair with furniture frames in natural wood (teak/acacia), rattan or matte metal for contrast, and layer additional pillows in shades like charcoal, muted teal or soft cream for depth.
How do I clean and care for this pillow to maintain its appearance and lifespan?
Routine care: Brush or shake off loose debris; immediately blot spills. For deeper cleaning: unzip the cover (if removable), machine wash cold or spot-clean with mild soap and lukewarm water, rinse thoroughly and air-dry flat. Avoid high heat, pressuring or dry-clean. Store in a dry place during extended off-season or when not covered.
Is the cover removable and what about warranty/returns?
Yes, the hidden zipper allows the cover to be removed in most versions. Made in USA. Warranty terms vary by retailer, but manufacturer typically offers limited warranty regarding manufacturing defects; check purchase details at checkout.
How does the “Ombre Grigio” colorway integrate into décor and outdoor seating schemes?
The ombré grey gradient offers a refined, neutral accent that anchors both modern and transitional outdoor seating spaces without overwhelming color. Use it to harmonies with frames in charcoal, black or natural wood; seat cushions in ivory, sand or light grey; and add accent pillows in soft blush, muted teal, or richer charcoal for visual layering and sophistication.
