About this fabric

The Perla colourway sits between soft grey and light taupe, avoiding both stark coolness and noticeable beige. A fine, brushed pile gives the swatch a muted luminosity, with slightly darker shading along the edges and in the nap. There is no visible motif, so the interest comes from the velvet’s smooth surface and restrained depth. This catalogued velvet is well suited to upholstery where a calm, tactile neutral is wanted.

How to use it

Use Young Nureyev Perla on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair when you want pale greige upholstery to soften a room without introducing a strong pattern. Pair it with chalky whites, warm timber and brushed metal for a quietly considered scheme.

A quietly polished greige velvet for upholstered seating and calm, tonal interiors.

Pairs well with

Young Nureyev Perla 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.
