Chambray is a deep, cool blue velvet with a subtly varied surface that shifts gently between blue and blue-green in the light. Its plain face keeps the focus on the colour’s depth and soft nap.

About this fabric

This Andrew Martin velvet is shown in a saturated chambray blue, darker and moodier than a pale denim shade, with a quiet teal cast across the surface. The close, brushed pile creates soft tonal variation rather than a visible motif, so the fabric reads as richly plain from a distance. Light catches the nap in faint directional patches, giving the colour depth without a high gloss. It is catalogued as Velvet; no further composition, width or performance specification has been supplied.

How to use it

Pair this cool chambray blue with smoked timber, aged brass and warm neutrals to balance its deep tone. On a sofa, headboard or occasional chair, the velvet’s softly shifting nap will add depth to a darker, atmospheric room.

Use this deep, cool blue velvet to bring soft sheen and depth to upholstered seating.

Medici Luxury Cotton Velvet in Chambray is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
