Name: Plush Heritage

Plush Heritage is shown here as a deep olive-charcoal velvet, with a nearly blackened green cast that changes gently across the nap. Its unpatterned face lets the plush surface and subdued tonal movement provide the visual interest.

About this fabric

This colourway appears as a deep olive-charcoal, sitting between mossy green and softened graphite rather than reading as a clear black. The close, plush surface is plain, with fine tonal variation across the nap; brighter areas lift subtly where the pile catches the light. No performance features are noted for this velvet, so its appeal here is the dense-looking texture and quietly luxurious depth seen in the swatch.

How to use it

Pair this deep, muted olive-charcoal with warm neutrals to draw out its green cast, or use it against darker timber for a more enveloping scheme.

A plush, near-blackened olive shade for quietly luxe upholstery.

Pairs well with

Plush Heritage 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.
