About this fabric

Made from 100% polyester, this velvet has a rich, dusky purple tone that shifts subtly across the surface as the nap catches the light. The close-up shows a fine, even pile rather than a printed motif, giving the colour a smooth and quietly luxurious depth. At 138cm wide, it is suitable for contract and domestic upholstery, including larger seating applications. It is machine washable and carries Contract GreenFR® Plus flame retardancy for contract settings.

How to use it

Pair this cool, muted plum-mauve with aged brass, smoked timber and warm neutrals to balance its depth. It is especially effective on a tailored sofa, reading chair or upholstered headboard where the velvet nap can show gentle tonal movement.

Use this deep plum-mauve velvet to bring quiet richness to sofas, headboards and occasional chairs.

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.
