Tempo Teal has a cool, deep blue-green ground crossed by closely spaced, irregular horizontal ripples. The velvet surface shifts subtly between teal and darker blue-green as the pile catches the light.

About this fabric

This 635gsm velvet combines a saturated teal tone with fine, wave-like lines that create movement without a large-scale motif. The dark ripples sit closely across the surface, giving the colourway depth and a softly undulating appearance. With a usable width of 141cm, it is a substantial choice for upholstery, while the 3.6cm vertical and 8cm horizontal pattern repeats keep the design relatively compact. The standard length is 40m.

How to use it

Pair this cool teal with smoked wood, charcoal or warm brass for a rich, tailored scheme. On a sofa, footstool or statement chair, the rippled pile will bring subtle directional texture rather than a bold graphic contrast.

Use this cool, deep teal velvet on tailored seating where its rippled surface can catch the light.

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.
