Misc Velvet

Medici Luxury Cotton Velvet in Chalk appears as a near-white ivory, with the plush surface creating very gentle shifts in tone across the swatch. Its plain face keeps the emphasis on the softness and depth of the velvet pile.

About this fabric

This colourway is a clean chalk shade with a faint warm cream cast rather than a stark, cool white. The image shows a plain velvet surface, where the brushed nap catches the light in subtle cloudy variations. Catalogued as Velvet, it is best suited to upholstered seating and other furniture applications where that softly changing pile can be appreciated. With no performance features noted, its appeal here is the calm colour and tactile finish.

How to use it

Use Chalk on a statement armchair, headboard or sofa when the room calls for a light, quietly luxurious neutral. Pair its pale ivory tone with warm timber, aged metal and softly contrasting taupes to avoid a hard white effect.

A softly brushed chalk velvet for pale, polished upholstery schemes.

Pairs well with

Medici Luxury Cotton Velvet in Chalk is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
