Name: Plush Mineral
Brand: Mark Alexander

Plush Mineral is a quiet, blue-grey velvet with a softly clouded, mineral-like nap. The close view shows subtle tonal shifts across the pile rather than a visible pattern, so its depth comes from the way the surface catches light.

About this fabric

Plush Mineral is a blue-grey velvet with a softly mottled surface; the image shows no printed motif, only the quiet variation of the pile. Its cool mineral tone sits between slate blue and softened grey, with darker flecks lending the plain ground gentle depth. The supplied catalogue identifies this textile as Velvet, making the tactile pile its defining feature. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this muted mineral blue-grey on an armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard where its subdued tonal variation can add depth without introducing a pattern. Pair it with chalky neutrals, pale timber or darker slate accents to reinforce its cool, composed character.

Use this cool mineral blue-grey velvet to bring quiet depth to upholstered seating and headboards.

Plush Mineral 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.
