About this fabric

This Morris & Co. velvet shows stylised leafy stems, curling tendrils and rounded flower heads arranged in a close, symmetrical botanical repeat. The colourway is predominantly cool and deep, with slate and powder-blue foliage lifted by muted lilac accents and icy outlines. At 416 gsm, it has the substantial presence expected of an upholstery velvet, while the softly light-catching surface gives the blue tones added depth. The fabric has a 131 cm usable width, a 63 cm vertical repeat and a 43.5 cm horizontal repeat, with a dense construction of 57.7 threads per cm.

How to use it

Pair the midnight and slate-blue ground with charcoal, ink or pale grey upholstery for a tonal scheme, or draw out the muted lilac flowers with dusty lavender cushions. The detailed repeat works especially well on a statement chair, ottoman or upholstered bedhead.

Use this cool, deep colourway on an occasional chair, sofa or headboard where its detailed botanical repeat can be appreciated.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Spring Thicket (Velvet) Midnight/Lilac without fighting it. 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.
