About this fabric

Catalogued as a velvet, this colourway has a dense-looking surface with a fine, even nap visible across the swatch. The blue-grey shade is muted rather than saturated, reading as deep charcoal blue in the upper area and softer steel blue where the light catches it below. There is no visible motif or repeat, allowing the subtle directional shading of the pile to provide the design interest. No additional composition, width, rub-test or performance data is supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Metal Blue on a tailored sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its cool slate undertone can balance warm timber, pale stone and brushed metal. The plain surface also works well beside patterned cushions without introducing another competing motif.

A cool, softly shaded velvet for tailored upholstery, bringing depth without a visible pattern.

Romeo & Giulietta Metal 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.
