About this fabric

Catalogued as a velvet, Plushy Lichene has a dense-looking, plain surface with no visible motif or repeat. The warm brown tone is softened by lichen and olive undertones, giving the colour a grounded, organic character rather than a sharply defined chocolate brown. Its nap creates faint tonal variation across the face, with lighter patches appearing where the pile catches the light. No performance features are noted in the supplied data.

How to use it

Use this lichen-brown colourway on a reading chair, sofa or ottoman where its softly shifting nap can add depth without introducing a pattern. Pair it with chalky neutrals, aged timber and muted olive accents to draw out its earthy undertone.

A softly mottled lichen-brown velvet whose shifting nap brings warmth and depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Plushy Lichene 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.
