Cotton Velvet Performance Mink

Luxury Plains VelvetZOF0227-03

Performance Mink is shown here as a smooth, plain velvet in a restrained mink taupe, with broad folds revealing a gentle shift from warm beige-grey to deeper shadow. The short pile catches light softly rather than forming a strong sheen or motif.

About this fabric

The image shows a plain mink velvet in a muted taupe-grey, with a faint warm beige cast where the pile turns towards the light. At 420gsm, it has a substantial weight suited to upholstery, while the close, even surface keeps the colour quietly refined rather than glossy. Its 144cm usable width supports practical upholstery cutting, and the supplied 0cm vertical and horizontal repeats confirm that there is no pattern to align across the cloth. The supplied 71 threads per cm record a dense construction, echoed by the even, softly brushed texture visible in the close-up.

How to use it

Use the muted taupe-grey tone on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its softly shifting pile can add depth without introducing a strong pattern. Pair it with warm stone, chalky beige and aged timber for a calm, layered scheme.

Use this softly shaded taupe-grey velvet to bring quiet depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Cotton Velvet Performance Mink 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.
