Dawn Chorus Smokey Heather Velvet Fabric brings a whimsical elegance to interiors with its vintage-inspired chinoiserie design. Exotic birds rest gently among soft florals and winding branches, their plumage highlighted with touches of pale blue, blush and golden yellow. Set against a muted mauve ground with dusty rose undertones, each detail is enriched by the soft sheen of the velvet, giving the pattern a gentle movement as the light shifts. The composition feels serene and refined, lending a feminine warmth to both classic and eclectic settings.
This designer velvet fabric is ideal for upholstery, curtains and soft furnishings where texture and detail are key. Available in None FR, Standard FR (BS 5852:1) and Crib 5 (BS 5852:2006 Clause 11) treatments for residential and commercial use. Suitable for both statement pieces and layered, botanical interiors.
Pile direction: all pieces must be cut in the same direction or they will reflect light differently and read as two colours.
Shading: velvet naturally appears lighter or darker depending on your viewing angle. This is inherent to the fabric, not a fault.
Grinning: digital printing sits on the pile surface. Stretching over a tight frame can reveal the base cloth beneath. A natural characteristic, not a fault.
Upholstery projects: please consult your maker before ordering to confirm suitability, quantity and cutting plan.

FABRIC — Delivery & Returns
£13 UK delivery. We print and cut every length ourselves, Monday to Thursday, within 4 working days, then dispatch it tracked for next-working-day delivery. Delivery to the Scottish Highlands, offshore islands and some remote postcodes may take a little longer, and any surcharge is calculated and shown at checkout.
International delivery takes 2 to 10 working days, sent tracked and Delivery Duty Paid, so all taxes and duties are included in the price you pay with no surprise charges on arrival.
Every length is cut and finished to order, so fabric cannot be returned or exchanged unless faulty. We always recommend ordering a sample first. Anything faulty or damaged, tell us within 14 days of delivery with clear photographs and we'll arrange a replacement or full refund at no cost.
Please inspect your fabric fully before cutting or making, as we can't accept claims after use. Full delivery and returns details
