Omega Velvet 4 Papaya

Omega Velvet 4 Papaya is a rich, sunlit velvet with a smooth, even surface and a clear warm orange tone. The colour reads like ripe papaya, bringing a soft glow rather than a harsh bright finish.

About this fabric

This plain velvet has the plush, light-catching look you expect from a classic pile fabric, with the colour staying fairly even across the face of the cloth. The papaya shade is a warm orange with a gently softened, slightly toasted edge, so it feels lively without turning neon or overly red. Made from 60% Polyester, 28% Recycled Polyester, 8% Acrylic and 4% Viscose, it is specified for Curtains, Loose Cover Upholstery and Fixed Upholstery, and the 137cm width makes it practical for larger projects. With a Martindale rub test of 100,000 and upholstery grading for Contract and General Domestic use, it is a strong choice where colour and durability both matter.

How to use it

Use Papaya to warm up neutral upholstery, especially alongside pale timber, stone or oatmeal fabrics. It also works well as a bold accent on a bench, armchair or cushions when you want a cheerful, polished focal point.

Use on tailored upholstery or statement cushions to bring warm, lively colour into a scheme.

Pairs well with

Omega Velvet 4 Papaya 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.
