Elaine Smith “Ombre Indigo” 20″ Square Pillow Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Elaine Smith “Ombre Indigo” 20″ Square Pillow and where is it best used?
The “Ombre Indigo” 20″ × 20″ square throw pillow by Elaine Smith features a graduated indigo tone in a refined ombré stripe pattern. It’s designed for both indoor and outdoor use, making it a versatile accent for lounge chairs, outdoor sofas, day-beds or covered patio seating.
What materials and performance features does it include?
This pillow uses solution-dyed acrylic performance fabric (Sunbrella®), which is fade-, water- and stain-resistant for outdoor durability. It comes with a sealed polyester-fiber insert and a hidden zipper so the cover can be removed. Spot cleaning or cold-machine wash (depending on cover) is supported.
What are the dimensions and how should I style it?
Dimensions: approximately 20″ wide × 20″ high. Style idea: Use this pillow on a neutral-tone outdoor sofa (sand, drift-grey, ivory) to introduce a rich indigo accent. Pair with furniture frames in teak, acacia or powder-coat black/charcoal for contrast. Layer in pillows in muted teal, soft coral or neutral textures to deepen the palette.
How do I clean and care for this pillow to maintain its appearance and lifespan?
Routine care: Brush or shake off debris, blot spills immediately. For deeper cleaning: unzip cover (if removable), machine wash cold or spot-clean with mild soap and lukewarm water, rinse thoroughly and air-dry flat. Avoid high heat or dry-cleaning. Store indoors or under cover during long weather exposure for best longevity.
Is the cover removable and are there warranty/return details?
Yes, the hidden zipper allows for cover removal in most versions. Made in USA. Warranty/return terms vary by retailer; check the specific purchase terms. For example, one retailer lists it at $128 and notes shipping from manufacturer.
How does the “Ombre Indigo” colorway integrate into décor and outdoor seating schemes?
The gradually shifting indigo tones add depth and sophistication to outdoor lounge settings. Use it as a key accent pillow on a neutral seating group (e.g., off-white cushions) to anchor the palette. Complementing colors: marine blue, charcoal, drift-grey, soft beige. Materials like woven rattan, teak, or dark-metal frames bring a cohesive feel to the setting.
