About this fabric

This colourway reads as a muted blue-grey rather than a bright denim blue, with charcoal-like shading lending depth to the cool ground. The close image shows a velvety pile with a softly mottled, vintage-mohair-like nap; there is no visible printed motif. It is catalogued as Velvet, and no composition, width, rub test or performance features were supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use the cool denim blue-grey on a sofa, occasional chair or headboard where its shadowed pile can add depth without introducing a pattern. Balance it with warm timber, aged leather or soft ivory textiles to temper the cooler tone.

Use its cool denim depth to bring tactile, softly vintage character to upholstered seating.

Venetia Denim Velvet | Vintage Mohair 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.
