Introducing The New Hunstanton Fabric | Burnt Orange Velvet

With the opulent colours of the Far East very much in fashion this season, we are delighted to reveal  our new, wonderfully dramatic Burnt Orange velvet – the latest addition to our Hunstanton Velvet collection.

This richly tactile velvet will create a sense of drama wherever it is used, perfect for providing a touch of luxury over winter. An ideal fit for modern rustic homes, this bold Burnt Orange can be used to contrast or blend, working beautifully with faded earth and gold tones if you prefer a more mellow look.

Characterised by its rich depth of colour and nap, our Orange Hunstanton fabric will add a warm and stylish shock of colour to your interior: an excellent way to revive a scheme without the need to fully redecorate. Available as a cushion cover, a series of our handmade lampshades and a cut length of fabric, how you choose to incorporate these gorgeous colours into your home is up to you.

Just switching the materials and colours of cushions in a room can totally transform the atmosphere. As always, all of our cushions are handmade here in our Suffolk workshop by our talented soft furnishings team. We love how the orange pops against this grey tweed, a similar look to our Herringbone Lovat Wool fabrics.
From classic candle shades to their tapered counterpart (above) and wide brimmed French drums, you can now enjoy these shapes in our new burnt orange fabric. The lovely light pictured is our Single Rowsley Wall Light. Available in a variety of finishes, its dainty size is perfectly suited to a sweet tapered shade such as this.
If you wish to create something of your own but love the look, a cut length might be right for you. At £30.39 per metre you can take home swathes of our velvet to admire and adapt yourself. Whether after this texture to make curtains or throws, we would love to see what you transform it into.
Browse all of our Hunstanton Velvet products here. If you love the look but want to save the idea for later, follow our Pinterest and pin these images to a mood board. Share your styling with us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook – we love seeing our products in their new homes!

Our very first showroom sits beside our workshops in Hadleigh, an historic market town in Suffolk. Surrounded by the rolling countryside of the River Brett valley, Hadleigh is known for its rich heritage and character.

It’s a fitting location for where our story began, showcasing traditional craftsmanship and enduring design. We’re proud of the places that shape our work, and we look forward to welcoming you to your nearest showroom.⁠
