About this fabric

SAVANNA Velvet in Auric is catalogued as a velvet, with a plush surface that gives the pattern visible depth and a gentle directional sheen. Its ground sits between khaki, moss and antique brass, creating a warm, earthy impression rather than a bright yellow gold. Dark irregular markings gather into feathery, branching bands, while smaller spots fill the spaces between them. The combination of low-pile lustre and near-black patterning gives this colourway a richly layered, luxe character for upholstery.

How to use it

Use Auric on a statement armchair, headboard or footstool where its olive-gold warmth can sit alongside walnut, dark timber and aged brass. Keep surrounding textiles quieter so the dark branching animal pattern remains the focal point.

The plush velvet pile and rich olive-gold ground make this a dramatic choice for upholstered seating and accent pieces.

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.
