Gramercy Blueberry

Name: Gramercy Blueberry
Brand: Mark Alexander

Gramercy Blueberry is a deep, inky blue velvet with a visibly clouded surface. Its dark blueberry tone shifts subtly across the pile, creating a moody, dimensional finish rather than a flat block of colour.

About this fabric

This Mark Alexander fabric is catalogued as velvet, and the close-up shows the characteristic soft pile catching light in irregular smoky patches. The colour sits between saturated blueberry and blue-black, with cooler charcoal notes appearing where the nap changes direction. There is no distinct printed motif; the visual interest comes from the plush, mottled texture. Its dense-looking surface makes it especially suited to upholstery where the rich tone and changing sheen can be appreciated.

How to use it

Use Gramercy Blueberry on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard in a room with warm timber, aged brass or pale stone to balance its cool, midnight depth. Layer it with smoky greys and softened blue accents for a cocooning scheme rather than a bright nautical look.

A dark, atmospheric velvet with softly clouded shading that brings depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Gramercy Blueberry 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.
