About this fabric

This colourway has the quiet depth of a near-black grey, softened by a subtle cool cast rather than any obvious warmth. The plain velvet surface gives it a refined, even appearance, and the pile catches the light just enough to create gentle tonal movement across the cloth. It is supplied in a 137cm width and has a robust 100,000 Martindale rub test, making it suitable for contract and general domestic upholstery as well as curtains and loose covers. The fabric is also FR rated to BS5852 Part 1 Source 0 and 1, and its recycled-polyester blend helps give the velvet a practical, hard-working handle.

How to use it

Use Nickel where you want a dark, controlled backdrop that still feels soft rather than stark. It works especially well on structured seating, deep cushions, or full-length curtains in contemporary rooms with pale stone, oak or brushed metal finishes.

A sleek dark neutral that looks especially smart on tailored upholstery or blackout curtains.

Pairs well with

Omega Velvet 4 Nickel 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.
