About this fabric

The supplied listing identifies Medici as a velvet, and this image shows a dense-looking, plain surface with a softly brushed finish. Its slate-grey colour sits between charcoal and softened olive-grey, giving it a muted, cool presence rather than a bright silver cast. Gentle changes in the nap create darker and lighter patches across the swatch, adding quiet dimension while keeping the overall look understated. With no performance features noted, its defining character is the tactile velvet texture and the depth of this particular slate colourway.

How to use it

Use this cool slate velvet on a statement armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard, pairing it with pale stone, smoked wood and aged metal. Its low-contrast tonal movement also suits a calm, tailored room where texture takes the place of pattern.

The cool slate tone and softly changing velvet nap bring restrained depth to upholstered seating.

Medici Luxury Cotton Velvet in Slate 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.
