Passione FabricPAS2730

PAS2730 is a quiet pale blue-grey velvet with a fine, even surface and no visible motif. Its close pile catches the light subtly, shifting between soft grey and a cooler blue cast across the swatch.

About this fabric

The plain velvet face has a delicate nap that gives this cool blue-grey colourway gentle tonal depth rather than a flat, stark appearance. Made from 100% polyester and supplied at 138cm wide, PAS2730 is graded for both Contract and Domestic upholstery. Aftercare is machine washable, while the standard flame retardancy is Domestic Cig & Match; it can also be treated to Crib 5 contract grade. The restrained colour and softly changing pile give upholstered pieces a smart, understated finish.

How to use it

Use this pale blue-grey on a sofa, headboard or dining chair where its cool tone can lighten darker timber and contrast with charcoal, navy or warm neutral accents. The subtle nap variation adds texture without introducing a strong pattern.

Pair the cool blue-grey velvet with crisp whites, soft taupes or darker charcoal upholstery for a calm, tailored scheme.

Pairs well with

PAS2730 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.
