Naz’s Fabrics: Symphony Mills’ Velvets – True Gems for Your Interior

Have you brought home something velvety yet since the fabric came back in fashion a few years ago? There’s a good chance that you have. Curtains, sofas and even lampshades and wallpaper all drift along on the soft wave of lustrous comfort that is velvet.

Jade

In interiors, velvet is known to brighten any room by the way it reflects light, making it a very rewarding fabric in small and darker spaces. And look at all the choices you have!

For quite a while, velvet has proven that it’s more than a luxurious fabric solely for the rich. Among the still highly popular darker shades such as emerald green and burnt orange, we now also see a shift towards lighter colours like pastels and beiges. It allows you to take a step away from the more common interior styles in which velvet fits like a glove and experiment to match it with more neutral surroundings.

sapphire woven velvets

At Symphony Mills, when you say ‘fabric’ you immediately add ‘velvet’ to it. Next to their wide range of colours, the fabric collection is mainly known for its velvets. To easily guide you through these specific fabrics, they have them divided into a subcategory called The Gemstones. Each named after a specific gem, the velvet fabrics have their own specifics that set them apart from one another. Knitted or woven, any kind of fibre, easy to clean… Let’s introduce you to five of them!

Diamond: your best friend for curtains and furniture

Diamonds. What better than wearing it around your finger, you ask? Cuddling up in it! The Diamond is a woven velvet with a W-weave, which makes it usable for both drapery and upholstery. Next to the typical deep velvet colours, Diamond also has a selection of powdery blush colours and soft greys and beiges.

Jade: widest colour range and easy to clean

51 different colours. If you weren’t sure yet about just the standard darker velvet palettes, Jade is here to prove the opposite. Characterised by its wide variety of earth tones, bright hues and subdued colours, Jade is a true chameleon.

This warp knit velvet feels like a cotton velvet and has one very specific feature: it’s cleanable. With just some lukewarm water and a clean cloth, you can easily get rid of stains from wine, pen and more. The first member of the Easy 2 Clean collection, this fabric is a dream come true for clumsy people, dog owners and (grand)parents.

Quartz Knitted Velvet

Quartz: a rainbow of applications

Often referred to as the ‘rainbowest’ collection in the range. The smile-to-face-bringing Quartz is a knitted velvet with a very fine high pile and matt look. Extremely soft and available in 50 rich colours, this bestseller can be used for many different applications. Pick your favourite colour in the online catalogue HERE.

Ruby: more than just red

Again a gemstone that immediately implies a colour. We can already reveal there’s a wonderful ruby red in Ruby’s colour range, but the other vivid colours and pastels are bound to lighten up your mood and your interior just as much.

Ruby is a knit warp velvet developed with a special technology that allows you to use it for upholstering without needing a backing. This fabric is light and flexible, making it suitable for various applications.

Emerald: inspired by the Queen

You might immediately mentally add ‘green’ to this one, but emerald is so much more than just a colour. The birthstone to people born in May, emerald is believed to be a source of infinite patience in spiritual circles.

Anyhow, no matter which month you were born in, we believe a little bit of patience can always be helpful. And where better to get it than in a lustrous fabric inspired by the old monarchies? Just breathe in, breathe out and focus – can you feel the royal calmness coming your way?

Every home deserves a hint of velvet to make it shine. Which one will you choose? Have a closer look in Symphony Mills’ online catalogue.
