About this fabric

This 416gsm velvet has a substantial handle suited to upholstery, while its finely packed floral drawing gives the surface an intricate, decorative character. The dark teal ground is softened by sage and cream leaves, with russet-red flower centres adding warm contrast rather than bright saturation. The pattern repeats at 32.5 cm vertically and 22 cm horizontally, creating a regular rhythm of stylised stems and scrolling foliage. With a supplied usable width of 135 cm and 57.7 threads per cm, it offers a densely detailed textile surface for considered interior schemes.

How to use it

Use this colourway on a statement chair, sofa or upholstered headboard where the deep teal can provide a grounding backdrop. Echo the russet accents with warm timber, aged brass or terracotta accessories, while pale sage and cream pick out the finer botanical details.

Use the deep teal ground and russet floral accents to bring richly patterned colour to upholstery.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Snakeshead Velvet Thistle/Russet without fighting it. 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.
