About this fabric

Alexander Grenade is catalogued as a Velvet from Dedar’s Velvet fabrics collection. In the photograph, it reads as a deep, cool-leaning red with burgundy depth rather than a bright scarlet. The face is plain and finely textured, with a soft nap that creates gentle tonal variation as the light moves across it. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this concentrated garnet shade on a statement armchair, sofa or dining seat where its dark red depth can anchor quieter neutrals. Pair it with aged brass, warm timber or dusky pinks to soften the richness without losing its luxe velvet character.

Its deep garnet tone and softly shifting nap bring concentrated colour and velvet depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Alexander Grenade 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.
