Omega Velvet 4 Cafe Noir

Omega Velvet 4 Velvet061

Cafe Noir reads as a very dark coffee brown with a soft, understated velvet sheen. In the swatch, the pile absorbs light for a rich, near-ink depth rather than a bright chocolate finish.

About this fabric

This colourway from the Omega IV collection is a plain velvet with a calm, even surface and a muted lustre that only appears when the light moves across it. The composition of 60% Polyester, 28% Recycled Polyester, 8% Acrylic and 4% Viscose gives it a practical, resilient handle, while the 100,000 Martindale rub test and Contract / General Domestic upholstery rating support serious seating use. At 137cm wide, it is also suitable for curtains, loose covers and fixed upholstery, and the FR rating conforms to BS5852 Part 1 Source 0 and 1. The tone is a warm, almost espresso brown that feels grounded and sophisticated, with enough depth to suit both contemporary and more traditional schemes.

How to use it

Use Cafe Noir on a sofa, banquette or dining chair where its dark brown colour will add weight and polish. It also makes elegant curtains in a warm neutral room, especially beside oak, brass or muted cream finishes.

A rich, low-sheen velvet that brings depth and warmth to tailored seating or elegant drapery.

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.
