About this fabric

This Zinc colourway is a plain velvet in a balanced zinc-grey tone, reading cool and understated rather than bright or silvery. Its short, even pile gives the surface a soft brushed texture, while the nap creates gently lighter and darker areas across the swatch. Catalogued as Velvet, it is well suited to upholstery where this calm, tactile grey can cover a substantial piece without introducing a visible pattern. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Zinc on a sofa, armchair or dining seat where its cool grey depth can temper warmer timber, cream upholstery and richly coloured accents. Its subtle pile movement adds interest while keeping the overall look restrained.

A quiet zinc-grey velvet with a softly brushed surface for upholstered seating and statement pieces.

Pairs well with

Medici Luxury Cotton Velvet in Zinc 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.
