Facet Vellum

Name: Facet Vellum
Brand: Mark Alexander

Facet Vellum combines a chalky ivory ground with pale greige, nested square motifs that appear gently drawn rather than rigidly geometric. Fine vertical striations across the surface add a subtle woven-looking texture and soften the repeated pattern.

About this fabric

The warm ivory base gives this colourway a light, vellum-like appearance, while the greige lines create quiet depth without introducing strong contrast. Repeated concentric squares and rectangular facets are arranged in an irregular, hand-drawn rhythm, with slightly uneven edges visible across the swatch. Fine vertical striations run through the cloth, lending the pale surface a tactile, softly weathered character. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this fabric, so composition, width and rub rating are not stated.

How to use it

Pair Facet Vellum with warm white, putty and pale taupe for a calm, tonal room, or use its nested greige geometry to add restrained structure to a soft ivory sofa or full-length curtains.

Use the warm ivory and pale greige palette to bring softly structured pattern to upholstery, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Facet Vellum without fighting it. 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.
