About this fabric

Catalogued as Velvet, Sunday Nero has a dense-looking, tactile surface suited to upholstery. The visible colour is a deep, nearly solid black rather than a blue-black or charcoal, giving the swatch a strong, understated presence. Fine changes in the nap catch the light softly, preventing the flat black from appearing entirely uniform. There is no visible motif or contrast pattern, so the texture and depth of the pile define this colourway.

How to use it

Use Sunday Nero on a statement armchair, sofa or dining seat where its near-black tone can anchor a room. Pair it with warm timber, pale stone or brushed metal to bring out the velvet’s restrained sheen.

Use this deep black velvet to bring quiet drama and tactile depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Sunday 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.
