Name: Plush Lapis

Plush Lapis presents as a deep, near-blackened blue with a softly textured, plush-looking surface. Subtle shifts in the nap keep the dark colour from appearing completely flat.

About this fabric

This colourway has the cool, saturated depth of lapis blue, shading into inky navy where the surface catches less light. Its short-looking pile creates a quiet, cloudy texture rather than a visible motif or pattern. The surface variation gives the blue a gently dimensional, touchable appearance suited to upholstery. No composition, width, rub test or performance feature has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Plush Lapis on a structured armchair, sofa or ottoman to bring a cool, enveloping depth to a room. Balance its inky blue tone with warm wood, aged brass or pale neutral upholstery accents.

A deep, shadowy blue with a plush surface that suits tailored upholstery and richly layered interiors.

Pairs well with

Plush Lapis 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.
