Velvet Wonderland Mandai Midnight

Mandai Midnight is a richly detailed velvet with an almost-black midnight ground, alive with birds, flowering plants, bamboo and water-garden scenes. Its dark base gives the colourful illustration a particularly deep, dramatic presence.

About this fabric

This Linwood Velvet Wonderland velvet is covered with a large-scale chinoiserie-inspired composition of coral peonies, ivory blooms, small jewel-toned flowers and long, feathery foliage. Birds in pink, blue and green appear among bamboo, rocks and water-lily-like garden details, creating a densely layered surface rather than a simple repeating floral. The near-black ground cools and intensifies the palette, allowing the coral and pale flowers to stand out sharply while the green foliage builds depth across the design. As a velvet, it is well suited to upholstery where this elaborate midnight colourway can become a confident focal point.

How to use it

Pair Mandai Midnight with plain upholstery in charcoal, deep green or warm ivory to draw out the ground and floral highlights. It would bring theatrical depth to a statement chair, headboard or occasional seat in a richly layered room.

Use the near-black ground to anchor richly coloured upholstery, with coral, ivory and jewel-toned details adding contrast.

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.
