About this fabric

As a velvet, Bacarà Cenere has the plush, light-responsive character associated with a pile fabric, while the swatch shows a finely textured face rather than a flat colour. Its abstract motif is made from overlapping, angular leaf-like shapes that remain close in tone to the ground. The Cenere colourway reads as cool, muted grey with a slight taupe cast, giving the pattern depth without strong contrast. This restrained tonal balance makes it a considered choice for upholstered pieces where texture and pattern should sit together discreetly.

How to use it

Use Bacarà Cenere on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair in a calm scheme of chalky whites, smoked wood and charcoal accents. Its ash-grey tone also works with warm taupe and brushed metal, which draw out the subtle greige notes in the velvet.

Use this softly patterned ash-grey velvet to bring restrained texture and tonal depth to upholstered seating.

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.
