We’ll admit, we’re fans of Timothy Oulton. His designs always seem to hit the mark with us, and his printed velvet collection, with a single glance, makes you want to snuggle up with a loved one over Winter.

There’s something seductive about faded grandeur: poetically peeling ceilings, time-worn textiles, and spellbinding stories of crumbling mansions.

Capturing the romance and magic of bygone glamour but transporting it into the 21st century, Timothy Oulton’s audacious printed velvet collection boldly collides old-world charm with modern vigour, creating the perfect backdrop for elegant entertaining.

Available on selected pieces throughout the collection, Timothy Oulton’s Faded & Degraded velvet makes a splash in a range of richly layered patterns. Choose from the vivid hues of Melting Paisley and Peeling Ceiling or the more subdued statement of Peat Smudge.

Taking inspiration from the peeling plaster of grand old buildings to the faded elegance of Victorian damask wallpaper, each unique design blends vintage motifs with bold abstract patterns for a modern twist on tradition.

Also available on selected upholstery, Acid Jungle is a sumptuously exotic velvet. Lush greens are entwined with vibrant florals in a blaze of luminescence, while a dramatic black backdrop creates depth and contrast.

Excite the senses this Winter with Timothy Oulton’s luxurious velvet collection and set the scene for decadent comfort and romance.

The Timothy Oulton Faded & Degraded Velvet Collection

Faded & Degraded’ Melting Paisley’
Melting Paisley has a mesmerising layered effect, transporting you through eras of time. Based on a background of faded Victorian damask wallpaper, a contrasting splattered ink overlay adds a modern expressive viewpoint onto the ornate detailing and ordered form underneath.

Faded & Degraded’ Peeling Ceiling’
The texture and patterns of a once-grand plaster ceiling, now crumbling and worn with age, provide the basis for the clash of vibrant hues of pinks, oranges, blues, yellows and grey, with multiple layers of colour and pattern clamouring across in a mottled effect on soft velvet. Wildly original and unique.

Faded & Degraded’ Peat Smudge’
A traditional paisley pattern is updated and creatively merged with an overlay of abstract art in this unique velvet finish. Peat Smudge is designed in soft hues of light and dark greys, evoking faded grandeur from a bygone era in a soothing colour.
