About this fabric

This substantial 627gsm velvet has a softly tactile handle, while the small looping motif creates a pebble-like surface pattern rather than a bold graphic repeat. The ash-taupe colouring sits between warm grey and pale brown, with gentle tonal depth where the pile catches the light. The pattern repeats every 22cm vertically and 6.5cm horizontally, adding discreet rhythm without overwhelming the shade. With a usable width of 143cm, Pulse Ash is a practical choice for upholstered seating, headboards and other structured applications.

How to use it

Use Pulse Ash on a generous sofa or occasional chair where its warm grey-taupe tone can soften darker timber and brushed metal. Pair it with chalky neutrals, mushroom shades and understated natural textures to draw out the velvet’s quiet depth.

A weighty ash-taupe velvet with a subtle cellular texture, suited to upholstered seating and headboards.

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.
