FLORA DELANICA Velvet - Midnight

fabric Velvet1-FA-DEL-VE-MID-XXX-XXX

FLORA DELANICA Velvet - Midnight sets jewel-like flowers and tall, painterly stems against an almost-black midnight ground. The dark field gives the varied blooms unusual depth, from pale lilies and irises to vivid poppies and delicate lilac flowers.

About this fabric

As a velvet, this design has a rich, upholstery-led character, while the image shows a densely arranged botanical composition rather than a restrained repeat. The cool midnight navy background is close to black, allowing olive stems, muted sage leaves, ivory petals, mustard yellow blooms and deep red flowers to stand out clearly. Large lilies and irises create the strongest visual moments, balanced by finer trailing stems and small clustered blossoms. The result is a highly detailed, luxe colourway with a deep, nocturnal mood.

How to use it

Use this midnight colourway on a statement armchair, headboard or sofa where its dark navy depth can anchor a room. Pick up the olive greens, aged yellows and dusky reds in cushions or painted furniture rather than competing with the botanical richness.

A dramatic midnight ground makes the jewel-toned flowers especially striking on 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.
