Velluto Amethyst

Name: Velluto Amethyst
Brand: Warwick

Velluto Amethyst appears as a deep, dusky purple with a plush velvet-like surface and a subtle sheen that changes across the gathered folds. Its dark amethyst tone becomes almost black in the deeper creases, giving the cloth a particularly rich, atmospheric depth.

About this fabric

The surface has a soft, brushed appearance, with the directional nap catching light in muted plum highlights against darker violet shadows. This weighty-looking drape is best read as an upholstery fabric, particularly where its folds can show the movement between sheen and shade. As a catalogued fabric from Warwick’s Velluto collection, it is supplied here without further composition or performance specifications. The restrained saturation keeps the amethyst colour sophisticated rather than bright, with a cool, nocturnal character.

How to use it

Pair this dark amethyst colourway with charcoal, smoked timber and aged brass for a dramatic, cocooning scheme. On a sofa, armchair or upholstered headboard, its shifting purple sheen will add depth without introducing a visible pattern.

Use this deep amethyst velvet-style cloth to bring moody colour and softly changing sheen to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Velluto Amethyst 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.
