Tempo Sand pairs a warm, softly muted beige ground with fine, closely spaced waves that travel horizontally across the velvet. The subtle tonal contrast gives the surface gentle movement without making the design feel busy.

About this fabric

This Clarke & Clarke velvet has a sand-toned beige face crossed by narrow, irregular wave lines in slightly deeper neutral shades. The 3.6cm vertical and 8cm horizontal pattern repeat keeps the motif small and controlled, while the changing direction of the lines adds a softly tactile appearance. Weighing 635 gsm, it has the substantial presence expected of a dense upholstery velvet. Its 141cm usable width and 40m standard length provide practical coverage for upholstery projects.

How to use it

Use Tempo Sand on a sofa, occasional chair or upholstered headboard where its warm beige tone can soften darker timber and bring quiet texture to the room. The restrained wave pattern works particularly well with natural linens, oak and other earthy neutrals.

The warm sand ground and fine horizontal wave texture bring understated movement to upholstered seating.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Tempo Sand 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.
