Brook Vellum

Brook Vellum is a pale vellum-cream sheer with a delicate, lightly irregular surface. Fine vertical lines drift softly through the weave, giving the cloth gentle movement without a pronounced pattern.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a quiet vellum-cream ground with a warm, translucent appearance and fine woven texture. Subtle undulating vertical lines create a narrow, fluid rhythm, while the sheer construction keeps the colour light rather than dense. Its fine, fluid handle is best suited to drapery, where the vertical movement can settle into soft folds. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so the fabric should be assessed against the demands of the intended window treatment.

How to use it

Pair Brook Vellum with pale timber, chalky neutrals and softly textured upholstery for an airy room scheme. Its warm cream tone works especially well as full-length curtains that filter daylight without adding strong colour contrast.

Use this airy vellum cream at full length to soften daylight without introducing a strong colour contrast.

Pairs well with

Brook 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.
