About this fabric

Romeo & Giulietta Nero is catalogued as a velvet, and the close image shows a dense-looking black surface with a restrained nap rather than a visible printed motif. Its near-black tone shifts subtly between ink-dark and charcoal as light travels across the pile, giving the plain face a quiet, dimensional sheen. No composition, width, rub test or performance features are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this deep black velvet on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard where its subdued sheen can add depth without introducing a visible pattern. Pair it with pale stone, warm timber or brushed metal to keep the near-black tone from feeling flat.

Use its near-black, softly lustrous surface to give upholstery a quietly dramatic finish.

Romeo & Giulietta Nero 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.
