Cosmos Velvet Twilight

Cosmos Velvet Twilight is a near-black charcoal velvet with a softly clouded surface. Its short pile catches the light in smoky grey flashes, giving the plain cloth depth without introducing a visible motif.

About this fabric

The deep charcoal tone sits close to black, while the changing nap creates cooler grey markings across the surface rather than a flat, uniform finish. This 137cm-wide velvet is composed of 24% cotton and 76% polyester. It is specified for curtains and fixed upholstery, with Contract and General Domestic upholstery grades. Dry-clean care is required.

How to use it

Use Twilight to bring a grounded, low-light character to a sofa, chair or headboard, or make full curtains from it where the near-black tone can frame a room. Pair it with pale stone, brushed metal or soft grey to pick up the velvet’s cooler highlights.

A near-black charcoal velvet with softly shifting highlights for upholstered seating, curtains and tailored interiors.

Pairs well with

Cosmos Velvet Twilight 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.
