Performance Velvets Hydrangea

An airy hydrangea blue gives this plain velvet a cool, softly powdered appearance. Across the folded swatch, the pile catches the light in a broad silvery band before deepening to a denser blue at the lower edge.

About this fabric

Performance Velvets Hydrangea is a solid, cool blue velvet with a soft hydrangea cast, visible as a fine, even pile across the swatch. Its surface shifts from pale powder blue to deeper slate-blue as the nap and light change, giving the plain cloth gentle tonal movement. Supplied at 141 cm wide and 540 gsm, it has the substantial weight suited to upholstery. With a 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat, it can be cut without matching a motif.

How to use it

Use this cool, powder-blue colourway on a statement armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard where its silvery nap can catch changing light. It works especially well with pale neutrals, soft grey and warm timber, which balance the blue’s crisp, airy character.

Use this cool hydrangea-blue velvet to bring soft colour and a subtle, light-catching sheen to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Performance Velvets Hydrangea 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.
