ESS4306 is a quietly tonal velvet in silver-grey, with the pile catching the light softly across the swatch. Its plain surface shifts towards deeper slate charcoal where the nap changes direction.

About this fabric

This Essenza fabric is a 100% polyester velvet with a 138cm width, suitable for both contract and domestic upholstery. The image shows a close, even pile rather than a printed motif, with a soft silvery-grey face and darker graphite shading through the lower area. That variation gives the otherwise plain colourway a subtle sense of depth as the light moves across it. It is machine washable and carries Contract GreenFR® Plus flame retardancy.

How to use it

Pair the cool silver-slate tone with charcoal, pale timber and brushed metal for a restrained modern scheme. On a sofa, bench or upholstered headboard, its gentle nap variation adds interest without introducing a pattern.

Use this softly lustrous silver-slate velvet to bring composed depth to contemporary seating and headboards.

Pairs well with

ESS4306 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.
