Cirrus Vellum

Cirrus Vellum presents a softly warm, near-ivory ground rather than a stark white. Across the swatch, a tiny woven grid and restrained tonal variation give the surface a tactile, linen-like presence.

About this fabric

Cirrus Vellum is a pale vellum-toned textile, sitting between warm ivory and soft beige in the photograph. Its close, fine weave forms a delicate crosshatch, with tiny darker threads giving the otherwise light surface quiet depth. The even, matte-looking face appears sufficiently versatile for upholstery or drapery, although no performance features are noted. No composition, width or rub-test information has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use the warm cream-beige tone to soften a light sitting room, pairing it with chalky whites, pale timber and gentle taupes. Its fine crosshatched texture also works well as a quiet curtain or tonal upholstery fabric.

A softly warm, fine-textured neutral for relaxed upholstery, curtains and layered interiors.

Pairs well with

Cirrus Vellum 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.
