Tempo Mineral is a pale blue-grey velvet with a cool, mineral cast and closely drawn, undulating lines running across its surface. The fine wave pattern gives the light shade gentle movement without creating a strong focal motif.

About this fabric

The densely repeated horizontal lines shift subtly between blue-grey and softer silvery tones, while the velvet nap lends the surface a restrained, tactile depth. Its pattern repeat measures 3.6cm vertically by 8cm horizontally, creating a small-scale rhythm well suited to upholstered forms. At 635gsm, this is a substantial velvet with a reassuringly weighty handle, and its 141cm usable width is practical for furniture work. The standard length is 40m.

How to use it

Use Tempo Mineral on a sofa, occasional chair or upholstered headboard where its cool blue-grey tone can lighten deeper woods and warm neutral walls. Pair it with chalky whites, pale stone and brushed metal for a calm, contemporary scheme.

A cool, quietly textured velvet that brings soft blue-grey depth to upholstered seating and headboards.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Tempo Mineral without fighting it. 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.
