About this fabric

Catalogued as a velvet, Splendido Purple has a dense-looking, short pile and no visible motif or pattern. The colour sits between aubergine and muted plum, with a cool purple cast and smoky depth rather than a bright or reddish finish. Light moving across the pile creates gentle shifts from deeper wine-purple to softer mauve-plum areas. The restrained surface lets the richness of the colour and the changing nap provide the visual interest.

How to use it

Use this dusky plum velvet on a statement armchair, headboard or sofa where its cool, saturated tone can anchor softer neutrals. It would also bring a moody, enveloping note to a darker reading corner or intimate sitting room.

A rich, softly shaded plum velvet for elegant upholstery and atmospheric interiors.

Pairs well with

Splendido Purple 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.
