About this fabric

This Essenza colourway has a cool, lightly taupe-leaning greige tone that reads soft and airy rather than stark grey. The close velvet pile gives the surface a fine, softly pebbled appearance, while changes in nap direction create delicate tonal shading instead of a visible motif. Made from 100% polyester and supplied at 138cm wide, it is suitable for both contract and domestic upholstery. The fabric is machine washable and has Contract GreenFR® Plus flame retardancy.

How to use it

Pair the pale greige tone with chalky whites, pale oak and warm stone for a calm contemporary scheme, or use it to lighten deeper taupe and charcoal upholstery. Its subtle nap adds quiet depth to dining chairs, headboards and tailored seating without introducing a pattern.

Use this pale greige velvet to soften contemporary upholstery while keeping the room light and understated.

Pairs well with

ESS4285 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.
