About this fabric

Catalogued as a velvet, AVALON Velvet - Noir is shown here with a dense arrangement of flowers, leaves and curling stems on black. A prominent ochre sunflower anchors the design, surrounded by coral, rust, cream and yellow flowers with sage and olive foliage. The warm blooms appear especially vivid against the near-black background, while the greyed greens soften the contrast and add visual depth. Its large-scale botanical composition gives the velvet a theatrical, luxe presence suited to statement upholstery.

How to use it

Use Noir on a feature armchair, headboard or sofa where its black ground can frame the warm ochre, rust and cream florals. Pair it with aged timber, antique brass and quiet neutral walls to let the botanical detail lead.

Use this dramatic black-ground velvet to bring depth and botanical richness to statement upholstery.

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.
