Baker House Fr Velvet Parchment

Parchment is a very pale, nearly solid velvet with a warm beige-blush cast. Its close pile gives the surface a softly powdered look, with subtle tonal movement as the light shifts.

About this fabric

Shown as an almost plain surface, Parchment reads as a gentle warm neutral rather than a stark white. The close velvet pile creates restrained texture and slight variation where the nap catches the light. It is made from 100% Polyester Fr, measures 140 cm (55") wide and achieves a 100,000 Martindale rub test. Specified for fixed upholstery, it must be professionally dry cleaned and should not be washed, bleached or ironed.

How to use it

Use this pale parchment-blush tone on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its quiet colour can brighten deeper wood, taupe and muted blush schemes. The velvet pile adds a discreet luxe finish without introducing a visible pattern.

Pairs well with

Baker House Fr Velvet Parchment 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.
