About this fabric
This Sanderson x Giles Deacon velvet has a substantial 548gsm weight and a 137 cm usable width, making it a confident choice for upholstery. The design shows a compact 10.3 cm vertical repeat and 17.5 cm horizontal repeat, creating a tightly worked surface with a regular, honeycomb-like rhythm. In this colourway, the plum pile appears almost wine-toned in the shadows, with a muted aubergine depth that keeps the overall effect elegant rather than bright. The pale network lines lift the pattern just enough to give the velvet definition without breaking its rich, enveloping finish.
How to use it
Use it on an occasional chair, ottoman, or headboard where the plum colour can feel jewel-like and intimate. It pairs well with walnut, brass, and warm neutrals that echo the fabric’s low-sheen depth.
Rich plum velvet with a subtle metallic outline that suits tailored statement pieces.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Faraday Velvet Plum 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.
