About this fabric

The Parchment shade sits between pale cream and warm ivory, with a muted, powdery quality rather than a bright white appearance. Its smooth velvet pile gives the surface a soft touch and a restrained sheen that shifts slightly with the direction of the nap. At 540gsm, with a 141cm usable width, it has the substantial handle expected of an upholstery velvet. The plain design has 0cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats, allowing the uninterrupted colour and texture to remain the focus.

How to use it

Use this warm parchment cream on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard to lighten a room without introducing stark white. Pair it with natural timber, oatmeal textiles and softly aged brass for a calm, layered scheme.

A softly luminous parchment velvet that brings warmth and quiet depth to upholstered seating.

Performance Velvets 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.
