About this fabric

This colourway has the restrained, even appearance of a plain velvet, with barely-there nap movement that gives the surface a subtle, light-catching softness. Cosima Velvet II in Cosima Pearl is composed of 56% viscose and 44% cotton, with a width of approximately 140cm and no repeat to consider, making it straightforward to work with on tailored schemes. The tone sits between cream and ivory, with a faint warm blush that keeps it from feeling cold or chalky. It has the kind of quiet lustre that suits refined seating, cushions and occasional upholstery where a pale finish is wanted without looking flat. Care code Q 8 < T 3 and fire code √CM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this pearl shade to brighten compact seating or to soften a room anchored by oak, stone or aged brass. Its warm ivory tone works especially well with layered neutrals, dove grey and muted taupe.

A luminous neutral that softens modern upholstery and layers easily with warmer woods.

Cosima Pearl 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.
