About this fabric

This swatch is catalogued as velvet, with a richly layered surface that gives the dense floral composition a plush, tactile appearance. The ground shifts between taupe, sandy beige and dusky grey, creating a softened autumnal backdrop rather than a single flat neutral. Small and medium flowers overlap in scarlet, rust, paprika orange, turquoise, cobalt blue, blush pink and cream, with occasional dark accents adding definition. The close-set arrangement makes the colour feel abundant and decorative, while the earthy base keeps the vivid blooms from reading as overly bright.

How to use it

Use Autumn on a statement armchair, headboard or occasional sofa where its warm taupe base can settle against timber, leather and natural linen. Pick out the coral, rust or teal flowers in cushions and accessories for a layered, collected scheme.

A richly patterned velvet for statement upholstery, balancing warm neutrals with vivid jewel-toned flowers.

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.
