About this fabric

This plain steel-grey velvet has a cool silver cast rather than a warm taupe or blue-heavy tone, giving the colourway a clean, contemporary depth. Its short, dense-looking pile creates a fine velvety texture, while the diagonal fold shows a brighter highlight against the shaded grey beneath. The supplied weight is 540 gsm, giving the cloth a substantial presence for upholstery. It has a 141 cm usable width, with 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats confirming the absence of a repeat to align.

How to use it

Pair the cool steel-grey tone with pale stone, crisp white or charcoal upholstery details for a restrained modern scheme, allowing the velvet’s changing silver highlights to provide the visual interest.

Use this cool steel-grey velvet to bring softly reflective depth to upholstered seating and occasional furniture.

Pairs well with

Performance Velvets Steel 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.
