About this fabric

This colourway has the plush, even nap you expect from a velvet, with a fine grain that softly catches the light instead of reflecting it sharply. The blush tone is warm and mellow, sitting between pink and beige for a soothing, lived-in look. With a usable width of 148 cm and a weight of 405 gsm, it is substantial enough for upholstery, while the 102 threads per cm specification points to a dense, refined construction. There is no pattern repeat, so the surface remains clean and uninterrupted across larger pieces.

How to use it

Use it on an accent chair, headboard or banquette where its warm blush tone can add softness without feeling sugary. It pairs especially well with pale oak, brushed brass and chalky neutrals.

A warm blush velvet that softens upholstery with a calm, tonal finish.

Dorton Blush 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.
