About this fabric

This plain velvet is shown in a subdued Wedgwood blue, with a gentle blue-grey cast that keeps the colour calm rather than vivid. Its 420gsm weight and 144cm usable width give it a substantial presence for upholstery. The surface has a fine, even pile, while the changing direction of the fold creates darker bands and a soft, silvery highlight. With zero vertical and horizontal pattern repeat, the fabric has no motif to align across a project; the supplied construction is 71 threads per centimetre.

How to use it

Use this cool Wedgwood blue on a tailored armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard where its soft sheen can catch daylight. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and brushed metal for a quiet, blue-grey scheme.

Use this cool blue velvet to bring softly reflective depth to upholstered seating and headboards.

Cotton Velvet Performance Wedgwood Blue 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.
