About this fabric

This House of Hackney textile is catalogued as Velvet, with a large-scale floral arrangement that fills the visible swatch from edge to edge. The clay ground reads as warm and earthy rather than bright red, allowing the cream, blush, burgundy and blue flowers to stand apart. Long, muted green stems create vertical movement between the larger lilies, poppies and thistle-like blooms. No composition, width, rub test or performance features have been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use the warm clay tone on a statement armchair, headboard or occasional seat, then keep surrounding upholstery simple so the varied botanical colours remain the focus. Aged brass, dark wood and soft cream textiles will draw out its earthy depth without competing with the floral scale.

Pair this richly illustrated clay velvet with quiet, solid upholstery and aged timber for balance.

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.
