About this fabric

The dense velvet surface appears almost blue-black in its deepest areas, while the nap catches the light with softer sapphire highlights. This is a plain, semi-plain textile with no visible motif, making its colour depth the defining feature. At approximately 140cm wide, it is suitable for curtains and fixed upholstery, with a composition of 71% polyester, 17% acrylic and 12% cotton. Care is listed as Delicate Wash at 30°C or dry clean.

How to use it

Pair this cool sapphire blue with smoky grey, ink, soft lilac or warm timber for a layered scheme with depth. On a sofa, headboard or full-length curtain, its velvet sheen adds a luxe note without introducing a pattern.

Use this deep sapphire velvet to bring cool, saturated colour and a soft lustrous finish to upholstery or 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.
