About this fabric

This colourway has a quiet grey-neutral appearance, with a subtly pebbled woven face rather than a printed motif. The dense surface catches the light in tiny variations, giving the pale shade more depth than a flat solid. At 640 gsm and 140 cm usable width, it has a substantial handle suited to upholstery. The specification records 49 threads per cm, while the vertical and horizontal pattern repeats are both 0 cm, leaving the weave texture as the design detail.

How to use it

Use Nimbus on tailored seating, headboards or occasional chairs where its pale mist-grey tone can soften darker timber and contrast with deeper charcoal or muted blue accents. Its quiet plain surface also works well alongside stronger patterned cushions without competing for attention.

A substantial pale grey plain with a softly pebbled weave for quietly tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with

Audley Performance Nimbus 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.
