About this fabric

The 340gsm velvet has a bright yellow-green ground that gives the print a warm, high-energy depth, while the blue-black branches create strong contrast across the surface. Visible motifs include a blue bird with a pink breast, a striped pink-and-black animal, colourful curled tails and layered green foliage. The design measures a 68.5cm vertical repeat by 34.5cm horizontal repeat, allowing its large-scale composition to remain clearly legible on upholstery. With a 138cm usable width and a standard 40m length, this is a substantial printed velvet for statement seating and other upholstered pieces.

How to use it

Pair the vivid lime ground with deep teal, ink blue or warm pink accents to echo the birds and curling branches. It works particularly well as a dramatic focal fabric on an armchair, headboard or compact sofa.

Use this richly coloured velvet to bring a dramatic, jewel-toned focal point to upholstered seating.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Rousseau Velvet Lime 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.
