Nimbus

Satara Carpet

Nimbus presents a dense graphite-grey surface with a softly mottled, almost clouded appearance. Fine pale flecks, charcoal depth and horizontal shifts in tone make the close texture visible at swatch scale.

About this fabric

Nimbus is catalogued as Carpet, and no performance features are noted in the supplied information. In the photograph, a cool graphite-grey ground is broken by fine pale flecks and darker charcoal passages. The dense, nubby surface reads as a close, softly irregular pile, while horizontal tonal bands give the otherwise quiet field gentle movement. Its low-contrast shading keeps the colour subdued rather than stark, with lighter threads catching the light across the surface.

How to use it

Pair this cool graphite-grey colourway with pale stone, chalky whites or deep charcoal to build a restrained, layered scheme. Its softly banded texture works especially well where a room needs depth without a strong graphic motif.

Use the cool graphite-grey tone to anchor calm, textural upholstery schemes.

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.
