About this fabric

The pattern is a large-scale jungle arrangement of broad, rounded leaves, feathery fronds and twisting ochre-brown branches, all tightly set against black. Its darkest greens merge into the ground, while pale sage foliage catches the eye in scattered highlights and prevents the design from reading as flat. Catalogued as velvet, it is best suited to upholstery; no performance features are noted in the supplied specification. The Noir colourway has a luxe, enveloping mood, with the warm branches adding contrast to its predominantly cool green and charcoal depth.

How to use it

Pair this Noir colourway with warm timber, aged brass and olive or moss accents to draw out the ochre branches and layered green foliage. On a statement armchair or sofa, its near-black ground creates a dramatic focal point without losing the softness of the botanical forms.

Use the near-black ground to anchor jewel-toned rooms, or let the layered foliage bring depth to a statement chair or sofa.

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.
