About this fabric

Made from 100% polyester, this 138cm-wide velvet is graded for contract upholstery. The dense-looking surface is defined by closely spaced vertical pile lines rather than a printed motif, giving the crimson shade a softly dimensional finish. DOL3486 is machine washable, and its flame retardancy is listed as Domestic Cig & Match GreenFR® with treatment available to contract grade. The dark red tone brings a dramatic, tailored presence to upholstered furniture.

How to use it

Pair this deep crimson colourway with warm timber, aged brass and quiet neutral walls to make an armchair or sofa the room’s focal point. The vertical pile will add restrained sheen and depth to curved or tailored upholstery.

Use this deep crimson velvet on statement seating, where its fine vertical pile can catch the light.

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.
