About this fabric

This colourway in Dante Velvet reads as a muted aqua with a gentle teal cast, sitting between blue-green and sea glass rather than feeling bright or tropical. The velvet pile adds a subtle directional lustre, so the shade shifts softly as the light moves across it. It is a 100% cotton velvet with an approximate width of 140cm, and the design has no visible repeat, making the surface feel uninterrupted and refined. With no performance features noted and a √CM fire code, it is best considered for elegant, classic interiors where texture matters as much as colour.

How to use it

Pair this soft aqua tone with pale oak, chalk white or brushed nickel for a fresh but composed scheme. It also works well against deeper navy or charcoal accents when you want the velvet’s cool sheen to stand out.

Use for a clean, tailored finish that lets the cool aqua tone and velvet sheen do the work.

Pairs well with

Dante Aqua 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.
