About this fabric

Frieda Tourmaline is catalogued as a velvet, and the image shows a completely plain surface without a motif or printed repeat. Its blue-grey colouring leans softly towards teal, creating a subdued, mineral-like depth rather than a bright or strongly saturated effect. The short nap gives the cloth a quiet directional variation, visible as faint changes in tone across the swatch. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair this cool blue-grey velvet with pale stone, chalky whites or smoked timber for a calm, contemporary room. Its restrained teal undertone also works well as a deeper accent on an upholstered chair, sofa or headboard.

Use this cool, softly shaded blue-grey velvet to bring understated depth to upholstered seating and headboards.

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.
