About this fabric

This Ombra colourway is a 100% polyester velvet with a dark charcoal-black ground and a gently mottled, brushed texture visible across the surface. At 138cm wide, it is graded for both contract and domestic upholstery. Machine-washable aftercare is supplied, along with Contract GreenFR® Plus flame retardancy. The low-contrast surface keeps the design plain and restrained, with directional nap adding faint bands of grey-black depth rather than a pronounced pattern.

How to use it

Use this deep charcoal-black velvet on seating where a near-black finish is wanted without a completely flat appearance. Its subtle nap variation pairs well with tonal greys, smoked wood and restrained contemporary interiors.

A near-black velvet with subtle tonal movement, suited to upholstered seating in refined, contemporary schemes.

Pairs well with

OMB3340 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.
