About this fabric

Catalogued as a Velvet from House of Hackney’s fabric collection, this colourway has a dense, large-scale botanical composition suited to upholstery. The blue ground shifts between muted slate and deeper Prussian tones, giving the pattern a cool, atmospheric depth. Oversized blooms, curling foliage and small birds are picked out in ivory, pale blue, navy, ochre, rust and warm coral. The varied colour placement makes the surface feel layered and painterly rather than uniform.

How to use it

Pair this cool blue velvet with warm timber, aged brass and ochre or rust accents to draw out the flowers in the pattern. It is especially effective on a statement armchair, occasional sofa or upholstered headboard where the large botanical scale can be seen clearly.

Use this cool, richly patterned velvet to bring depth and decorative character to a statement chair, sofa or headboard.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside GAIA Velvet - Prussian Blue without fighting it. 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.
