Artichoke Velvet Inky Fingers/Blush

Artichoke Velvet Inky Fingers/Blush combines a deep inky blue ground with repeated blush-peach artichoke heads, olive foliage and pale scrolling stems. The dark background gives the botanical pattern a particularly rich, high-contrast presence.

About this fabric

This 416gsm velvet has a substantial feel suited to upholstery, with a 136.5cm usable width and a standard length of 60m. Its 32cm vertical repeat and 68cm horizontal repeat arrange the blush artichokes and curling botanical stems in a dense, measured rhythm. Against the cool inky ground, the blush motifs read softly rather than brightly, while the olive and pale green leaves add layered depth. The fabric is specified at 57.7 threads per cm, supporting the detailed appearance of the woven design.

How to use it

Use this inky blue and blush colourway on a statement armchair, window seat or headboard, where its dark ground can anchor lighter blush, olive and warm neutral furnishings. Keep surrounding upholstery relatively quiet so the repeated artichokes remain the focal point.

Use the deep inky ground and blush artichoke motifs to bring richly patterned, velvet depth to an upholstered chair, sofa or headboard.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Artichoke Velvet Inky Fingers/Blush 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.
