About this fabric

This 340 gsm velvet has a saturated coral-red base that makes the cool teal and turquoise animals appear especially vivid, while burgundy, raspberry and dusty rose details add depth. The design includes peacocks with detailed feather eyes, paired birds, curling foliage and a central cat-like figure, all visible in a densely packed symmetrical arrangement. Its pattern repeat measures 62.5 cm vertically by 34.5 cm horizontally, giving the large motifs a strong presence across upholstery. The usable width is 138 cm and the standard length is 40 m.

How to use it

Use Amazon Velvet Red on a statement armchair, ottoman or sofa where its warm coral ground can lead the scheme. Balance the saturated red with dark timber, teal accents and quieter plain textiles so the peacock and animal details remain the focal point.

Use this saturated coral velvet to bring theatrical colour and richly illustrated character to statement upholstery.

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.
