About this fabric

Catalogued as a Velvet, Libertino Encre has an even, softly textured surface with no visible motif or printed pattern. The colour reads as a cool, saturated navy, deepened towards the edges and in the darker areas of the pile. Gentle shifts in the nap create understated shading rather than a pronounced sheen, giving the swatch a rich and composed appearance.

How to use it

Use this cool ink navy on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair to anchor a room with a dark, polished colour. Balance its depth with pale neutrals, warm timber or brushed metal accents.

Use this deep ink navy velvet on an upholstered chair or sofa for a dark, softly dimensional finish.

Libertino Encre 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.
