About this fabric

The velvet combines a creamy tan-beige base with dark, organic rosettes and broken markings, giving the design a richly layered animal-print effect. Spot sizes vary across the swatch, from small isolated marks to broad, irregular outlines, creating a lively medium-scale rhythm. Subtle shifts in the nap add depth to the tan ground, while the darker motifs read with strong graphic definition. As a catalogued velvet, it is particularly well suited to upholstery where its plush surface and expressive pattern can be seen at close range.

How to use it

Use Mimi Velvet Tan on a statement chair, headboard or occasional seat, pairing its warm tan base with walnut, dark timber and aged brass. Keep surrounding textiles restrained so the deep brown and near-black markings remain the room’s focal detail.

Use the warm tan ground and dark organic spots to bring confident, tactile character to upholstered seating.

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.
