About this fabric

The surface reads as a dense, even weave in cool grey, with fine horizontal lines and gently mottled tonal variation visible across the swatch. Its restrained texture keeps the colour understated while preventing it from appearing flat or stark. Nimbus is catalogued as a Carpet, and its substantial-looking woven appearance makes it suited to upholstery-led applications. No composition, width, rub-test or performance-feature data has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Nimbus on a tailored chair, bench or sofa where its cool grey tone can calm stronger colours; add warm oak, brushed metal or creamy textiles to soften the cooler cast.

Use this cool mid grey as a quietly tailored upholstery shade, pairing its fine texture with warmer timber or soft neutral accents.

Pairs well with

Nimbus 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.
