About this fabric

This plain velvet has the dense, smooth handle and subtle directional sheen you expect from a strong upholstery cloth, and the colourway shows as a layered orchid purple rather than a flat violet. It is woven from 60% Polyester, 28% Recycled Polyester, 8% Acrylic and 4% Viscose, and the 100,000 Martindale rub test supports its use for Contract and General Domestic upholstery. At 137cm wide and with BS5852 Part 1 Source 0 and 1 compliance, it is practical as well as decorative. The stain-resistant finish and care instructions for delicate 30°C washing help make the fabric suitable where a luxurious look still needs everyday resilience.

How to use it

Use this orchid tone to give an armchair, banquette or headboard a bold focal point, especially against dark timber, brass or charcoal paint. It also works beautifully for curtains where the velvet pile can deepen the colour and soften the room.

A rich jewel tone that brings depth and drama to tailored seating or statement curtains.

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.
