About this fabric

From Colefax and Fowler’s Cosima Velvet II collection, this colourway is a plain velvet with no visible repeat, making the texture and tone the focus. The blend of 56% viscose and 44% cotton gives the surface a supple, light-reflective handle that reads as gently worn-in rather than flat. In Cosima Sand, the colour sits between beige and muted gold, with a dry earthy warmth that softens as the nap shifts in the light. At approximately 140cm wide, it is a practical upholstery cloth for considered seating, cushions and decorative schemes that need depth without pattern.

How to use it

Use this sand tone on a sofa or pair of armchairs where its warm, subdued sheen can lift natural linens, oak and pale stone. It also works well in layered neutrals, adding richness without pushing a room into yellow.

A soft, earthy velvet that brings quiet warmth to tailored seating and layered neutral schemes.

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.
