About this fabric

The small, irregular scroll-like pattern is visible across the cloth in muted taupe, while the pale greige ground keeps the overall colourway light and understated. With a 29cm vertical repeat and 67cm horizontal repeat, the motif has a compact rhythm rather than a large-scale statement. The 134.5cm usable width and substantial 840gsm weight make this a particularly convincing upholstery velvet. Its 105 threads per centimetre contribute to the closely textured appearance visible across the surface.

How to use it

Pair Nimbus with chalky neutrals, warm stone and weathered timber, using it on a chair, bench or sofa where the pale greige-taupe tone can soften stronger architectural colours. The fine looping pattern adds interest without competing with larger motifs.

Use this quietly patterned, weighty velvet on upholstery where its pale greige-taupe ground can lighten the scheme without losing texture.

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.
