About this fabric

This Dedar velvet has a richly shadowed cactus tone, reading cooler and deeper at the edges while softer green highlights emerge across the face. The surface is plain rather than patterned, with a fine, low-contrast nap that adds texture without visual busyness. Its dense-looking velvet handle makes it best suited to upholstery, particularly where the dark green can bring depth to a chair, sofa or occasional seat. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification data.

How to use it

Use this deep cactus green on a statement armchair, sofa or ottoman, pairing it with warm timber, aged brass or pale stone to bring definition to the room. Its subdued sheen also works well against chalky neutrals and softly patterned textiles.

A deep cactus-green velvet with a softly shaded nap that gives upholstered pieces quiet depth.

Young Nureyev Cactus 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.
