About this fabric

This plain velvet has a dense, touchable pile that gives the surface a low, mottled lustre rather than a flat finish. In this Paprika colourway, the shade sits between burnt red and oxblood, with darker shadowed areas that add depth across the face of the cloth. It is woven in 100% polyester and specified for contract use, with a 30,000 Martindale rating for dependable durability. The fabric is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and after care is wipeable or professional dry clean in situ, with further guidance in the pattern book.

How to use it

Use it on an accent chair, banquette or cinema seating where the warm red-brown tone can anchor the room. It pairs especially well with walnut, brass and dark neutrals, allowing the velvet pile to provide the colour and atmosphere.

A rich, tactile velvet that brings warmth and depth to tailored seating.

Pairs well with

Vintage Velvet 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.
