About this fabric

Catalogued as a velvet, Urbane Burnt Orange has the substantial, smooth-faced appearance associated with upholstery cloth. The short pile catches the light differently across the folded swatch, shifting from deep burnt copper to a softer terracotta highlight. Its colour is warm and saturated rather than bright, giving the plain surface a mellow depth without a visible motif. No further composition, width or performance specification has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Urbane Burnt Orange on a statement armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard where its coppery warmth can anchor olive, tobacco, charcoal and natural neutral furnishings. Pair it with aged timber and brushed metal to emphasise the velvet’s rich, low-lit character.

Use this warm, light-catching burnt orange velvet to bring depth and a rich accent to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Urbane Burnt Orange 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.
