About this fabric

The even, unpatterned face is defined by a soft velvet pile rather than a visible motif or weave. This colourway reads as a deep wine red, with darker areas adding gentle tonal movement across the surface. As a catalogued Velvet fabric, it is well suited to upholstery where its dense-looking pile can provide a plush, luxe finish. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this deep bordeaux on a statement armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard, pairing it with warm timber, aged brass and quieter neutral textiles so the wine-red tone remains the focal point.

Its saturated wine-red tone and softly changing velvet nap bring depth to upholstered seating and headboards.

Pairs well with

Nuvolari Bordeaux 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.
