About this fabric

The swatch shows a dense, opaque velvet surface with no visible motif, woven in a dark paprika tone that falls between red and brown. Its short pile catches the light gently, creating a soft haze and slight shifts in depth rather than a bright, high-gloss reflection. The substantial appearance makes this velvet best suited to upholstery, particularly where a saturated, warm colour can anchor the piece. No composition, width, rub test or other performance specification is supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Pair Young Nureyev Paprika with aged timber, dark metal and warm neutral upholstery for a grounded scheme, or use it as a dramatic accent against pale plaster and cream textiles.

Use this warm, dark paprika-red velvet to bring depth and a softly luxurious finish to upholstered seating.

Young Nureyev Paprika 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.
