About this fabric

Madison Foresta is a velvet in a blue-leaning forest green that reads almost charcoal in its darkest areas. The close surface shows a fine, even nap rather than a visible motif, with delicate tonal variation as the light moves across it. As a catalogued Velvet, it is suited to upholstery, where this saturated shade can give a chair or sofa a grounded, enveloping presence. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this cool, deep forest teal on a reading chair, headboard or sofa where its low-lit richness can create a cocooning focal point. Balance the shade with warm timber, aged brass or softly contrasting natural neutrals.

Use this deep, cool forest teal to bring enveloping colour and softly shifting velvet texture to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Madison Foresta 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.
