About this fabric

At 695gsm, this is a substantial velvet well suited to upholstery, with a rich handle suggested by its dense, softly lustrous surface. The deep blue ground is overlaid with darker and lighter blue foliage, giving the ornate pattern an atmospheric, almost shadowed quality rather than a high-contrast effect. Its 134.5cm usable width accommodates generous upholstery panels, while the 66.5cm vertical and 67cm horizontal repeats define the balanced, symmetrical arrangement. The 72 threads per cm specification supports the fabric’s visibly detailed, closely worked appearance.

How to use it

Use this inky blue colourway on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard where its plush surface and low-contrast botanical pattern can read as depth rather than decoration. Pair it with softened blue-grey, charcoal or aged timber tones to reinforce its cool, moody character.

Use this deep, tonal blue velvet to bring plush depth and an atmospheric damask pattern to upholstered seating.

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