M663 Vellum

About this fabric

The warm grey-beige ground has the quiet, chalky quality of vellum, while the pale botanical tracery remains close in tone rather than sharply contrasting. Small flowers, branching stems and irregular trailing lines create an all-over pattern that feels delicate without becoming fussy. Subtle surface variation catches the light across the ground, adding depth to this restrained colourway. No performance features are noted for this fabric, so its suitability should be considered alongside the requirements of the intended upholstery or drapery application.

How to use it

Use M663 Vellum for relaxed curtains, occasional upholstery or cushions where its pale greige tone can soften a room without introducing a strong colour. It sits naturally with ivory, limestone, warm white and pale timber.

Use the pale greige ground with warm whites, chalky neutrals and light woods for a quietly refined scheme.

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.
