OMB3317 is a softly mottled taupe velvet with a quiet, clouded surface that shifts gently between warm stone and grey-beige. Its low-contrast colouring gives the swatch a calm, considered depth rather than a pronounced pattern.

About this fabric

This Ombra colourway is made from 100% polyester velvet and measures 138cm wide. The visible surface has a softly brushed appearance, with fine tonal variation and faint horizontal and vertical shading that create depth across the warm taupe ground. Rated for Contract and Domestic upholstery, it combines this understated colour with a practical machine-washable specification. It also carries Contract GreenFR® Plus flame retardancy.

How to use it

Use the warm grey-beige tone on a sofa, occasional chair or headboard where its gently clouded texture can soften sharper architectural lines. Pair it with chalky neutrals, aged timber and muted olive or bronze accents for a composed, quietly layered scheme.

Use this softly mottled taupe velvet to bring understated depth to upholstered seating and headboards.

Pairs well with

OMB3317 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.
