Offline Vellum

Offline Vellum is a softly warm cream sheer with the quiet, translucent quality visible across the swatch. Its fine irregular grid gives the pale ground gentle movement without making it look busy.

About this fabric

The colour reads as warm vellum cream rather than bright white, with a lightly softened depth that changes subtly across the surface. Fine horizontal threads are interrupted by slim vertical lines, forming an uneven, broken grid with delicate slub texture. The cloth appears light and fluid in the photograph, making it best suited to drapery. No composition, width or performance specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair Offline Vellum with warm whites, pale oak and natural stone for an airy room with softly filtered light. Its vellum-cream tone also works well as a gentle layer behind heavier neutral curtains.

Use this softly warm cream sheer for curtains that filter daylight without looking stark.

Offline 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.
