About this fabric

Madison Eggshell is a velvet from Mark Alexander’s Timeless Velvets collection, shown here in a delicate eggshell shade. Its tone sits between warm ivory and the palest beige, creating a soft, low-contrast impression rather than a stark white. The close, even surface has a subtle nap that shifts gently with the light, while no pattern or contrasting motif is visible. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this soft eggshell colour on a classic armchair, headboard or sofa where its pale tone can brighten the room without the sharper effect of pure white. Warm wood, oatmeal textiles and muted beige walls will reinforce its quietly luminous character.

Pair this pale eggshell velvet with warm timber and soft neutrals for a quiet, light-catching scheme.

Pairs well with

Madison Eggshell is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

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.
