About this fabric

This 340 gsm velvet has a substantial feel suited to upholstery, with a useable width of 138 cm and a standard length of 40 m. The large-scale design repeats every 55 cm vertically and 46 cm horizontally, framing the lemur and layered foliage as a dramatic decorative feature. Across the navy background, darker brush-like bands create depth, while the velvet surface gives the blue ground a soft, low-lit richness. Teal leaves, pale spotted fur and touches of aubergine stand out crisply against the cool charcoal-navy base.

How to use it

Use this deep navy colourway on a feature armchair, headboard or statement sofa where the large jungle repeat can be appreciated at close range. Balance its cool, saturated ground with smoked wood, dark metal and restrained teal or plum accents.

A richly illustrated navy velvet for statement upholstery, bringing cool depth and jungle drama to a room.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Lemur Velvet Navy without fighting it. 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.
