ARTEMIS Velvet - Azure

ARTEMIS Velvet - Azure places an intricate garden scene against a cool, mid-depth azure ground. Coral flowers, jewel-like blue blooms and curling dark branches give the swatch a richly illustrated, decorative character.

About this fabric

Catalogued as Velvet, this colourway is centred on a cool azure-blue background that lets the surrounding artwork read with unusual clarity. Large coral, blush and cream flowers sit among ochre leaves, blue-grey blossoms and small pink details, while fanciful birds and insects animate the dense botanical arrangement. Dark, sinuous stems create depth across the ground, making the pattern feel layered rather than flat. The velvet specification suits this opulent, high-impact design particularly well for statement upholstery.

How to use it

Pair the cool azure ground with warm ivory, tobacco or muted coral upholstery accents to draw out the flowers and birds without competing with the dense pattern. It would make a dramatic focal point on a statement armchair, headboard or occasional sofa.

Use this richly patterned azure velvet on a statement chair or sofa, balancing its coral, cream and ochre flowers with quiet neutral surroundings.

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.
