Merida Mocha

Merida Mocha is a deep, earthy brown velvet with a softly shaded surface. Its close pile catches the light subtly, creating gentle tonal movement across the otherwise plain ground.

About this fabric

Catalogued as Velvet from Zinc Textile’s Dvvvelvets collection, Merida Mocha has a dense-looking, softly brushed surface visible in the swatch image. The brown tone sits between dark cocoa and muted mocha, giving it a warm, grounded depth rather than a bright or reddish character. A directional nap produces restrained changes in tone as the surface catches the light, while the plain design keeps the colour and texture central. No composition, width, rub test or performance features have been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Merida Mocha on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its warm cocoa-brown tone can anchor lighter creams, aged brass and natural timber. Its subdued sheen also suits a richer, cocooning scheme without introducing a strong pattern.

Use this deep mocha velvet to bring warm, enveloping depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Merida Mocha 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.
