Nouveau No.5 Velvet Fabric
Nouveau Velvet No.5 combines the graceful ornamentation of Art Nouveau design with a warmer, more sophisticated colour palette inspired by vintage decorative textiles and botanical illustration. Flowing floral forms, elegant stems, and stylised organic motifs create a richly layered pattern that feels both luxurious and timeless. Coral pink, antique gold, deep navy blue, charcoal black, and warm neutral tones work together to produce a fabric that immediately adds depth, colour, and personality to an interior.
Printed onto a premium 100% polyester velvet basecloth, this is a printed velvet fabric rather than a woven fabric, allowing every decorative detail to remain crisp and beautifully defined. The soft velvet surface enhances the richness of the colours while adding a tactile quality that elevates both traditional and contemporary interiors. With a durability rating of 40,000+ Martindale rubs, Nouveau Velvet No.5 offers an excellent balance between decorative appeal and practical performance.
Suitable for upholstery projects including sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, occasional chairs, footstools, benches, and headboards, this versatile velvet fabric is equally effective when used for curtains, Roman blinds, cushions, and other soft furnishing applications. The design works particularly well in interiors that embrace colour, pattern, and artistic detailing while maintaining a sense of elegance and refinement.
The combination of warm coral pinks, muted golds, rich blues, and dark contrasting outlines gives the design a distinctive decorative presence without overwhelming a room. Samples are available for customers wishing to assess the colour palette and velvet texture before purchasing, and the fabric is available by the metre for projects large and small.
