About this fabric

The surface appears dense and even, with a low, velvety nap that shifts gently between softer and darker grey-green areas as the light catches it. Fumo is deliberately muted rather than bright, balancing a cool smoky tone with enough green to avoid looking flat or stark. With no visible motif, the colour and tactile nap provide the full character of this swatch. As a velvet fabric, it is particularly suited to upholstered pieces where the changing surface adds quiet depth.

How to use it

Pair this smoky sage-grey with warm timber, chalky neutrals or aged brass for a composed room scheme. On a sofa, headboard or occasional chair, its muted green cast adds colour without becoming dominant.

Use this subdued sage-grey velvet to bring soft depth and quiet polish to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Young Nureyev Fumo 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.
