About this fabric

Catalogued as a velvet, this colourway has an even, unpatterned surface rather than a visible motif or woven repeat. Its cactus green is muted with charcoal-grey depth, giving the shade a cool, grounded appearance rather than a bright botanical green. Subtle directional variation across the swatch reveals the characteristic light-catching softness of the velvet surface. The dark tone is particularly suited to upholstery where a rich, quietly dramatic finish is wanted.

How to use it

Use this deep cactus green on a sofa, armchair or upholstered headboard, balancing its cool, dark tone with pale timber, warm neutrals or aged brass. It also works well as a grounding accent alongside soft olive and stone shades.

A deep, greyed cactus green with a restrained velvet sheen for tailored upholstery.

Adamo & Eva Cactus 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.
