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.

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.
