About this fabric

The russet colour reads as a rich blend of brown, umber and muted red rather than a bright burgundy, giving this colourway considerable depth. Close up, the velvet has a softly mottled nap with subdued highlights and darker brushed areas that make the surface feel tactile. Composed of 76% polyester and 24% cotton, it is approximately 137cm wide and specified for curtains and fixed upholstery. It is graded for Contract and General Domestic use, with dry-clean care.

How to use it

Use this warm russet brown on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard to add earthy depth, or make generous curtains where the nap can show subtle changes in tone as the light moves. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass, cream or smoked neutral upholstery.

Use this richly warm russet velvet to bring depth to upholstered seating or full-length curtains.

Pairs well with

Cosmos Velvet II Russet 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.
