About this fabric

This catalogued Velvet has a rich charcoal tone that sits close to black while retaining a discernible cool grey cast. The close, plain surface appears softly plush, with subtle changes in value where the nap catches the light. As a Luxury Cotton Velvet, it brings a tactile, light-absorbing depth rather than a patterned visual statement. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this deep charcoal colourway on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard where its near-black depth can anchor lighter walls and warm timber. Keep surrounding textures varied so the velvet’s quiet nap remains visible rather than disappearing into a fully dark scheme.

A near-black charcoal velvet with a restrained nap that lends upholstered furniture a quietly luxurious finish.

Pairs well with

Medici Luxury Cotton Velvet in Charcoal 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.
