About this fabric

The close-up shows a plain woven surface with a fine, irregular grid rather than a printed motif. Pale beige and soft grey threads create the characteristic vellum tone, while slight tonal variation keeps the light colour from appearing flat. The weave has a gently slubbed, natural-looking texture that catches the light without becoming prominent. No performance features or further technical specifications are supplied for this fabric, so suitability should be checked against the demands of the intended application.

How to use it

Use this pale warm greige as a calm foundation for upholstered seating or relaxed curtains, especially alongside chalky whites, natural timber and muted stone shades. Its subtle woven texture adds depth to a neutral room without introducing a strong pattern.

A softly textured greige plain weave that brings quiet warmth to upholstery, curtains and layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Veldt 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.
