Pulse Crimson is a richly saturated crimson velvet with a visibly tactile, pebble-like surface. The swatch shifts from a deep wine-red at the top to a brighter crimson below, giving the colourway notable tonal depth.

About this fabric

The close-set irregular texture creates a small-scale, softly pebbled motif across the velvet, while the changing pile catches light differently through the crimson field. At 627gsm, this is a substantial textile suited to upholstered furniture rather than delicate applications. It has a usable width of 143cm and a standard length of 40m. The listed pattern repeat is 22cm vertically by 6.5cm horizontally.

How to use it

Use Pulse Crimson on a reading chair, sofa or upholstered headboard to bring a deep, dramatic red to the room. Balance its saturated tone with aged timber, charcoal or warm neutral fabrics so the tonal texture remains the focus.

Use this weighty crimson velvet on statement seating, where its dark-to-bright tonal depth and tactile texture can be appreciated.

Pairs well with

Pulse Crimson 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.
