About this fabric

The plain swatch is catalogued as Velvet and shows no visible motif, stripe or woven pattern. Its storm-blue colour is muted rather than bright, sitting between ink blue and charcoal grey. A fine, softly brushed texture gives the surface depth without introducing a strong sheen. The dark, cool tone and velvety appearance make this colourway especially suited to upholstery where a calm, enveloping finish is wanted.

How to use it

Use Alexander Storm Blue to bring depth to a reading chair, sofa or upholstered bed, pairing its cool blue-grey tone with pale timber, warm ivory or aged brass. Against darker finishes, its subtle surface lustre adds quiet richness without becoming glossy.

A cool storm-blue velvet with a quietly refined sheen for upholstered seating and headboards.

Pairs well with

Alexander Storm Blue 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.
