About this fabric

This Zoffany Luxury Plains velvet is supplied at 144 cm usable width and weighs 420 gsm, giving the cloth a substantial presence for upholstery. Its 71 threads per cm support the finely even appearance visible across the swatch, while the softly directional nap creates a pale highlight across the fold. The silver-grey tone is restrained rather than bright, with a slightly warm stone cast that keeps the colour approachable. With 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats, it presents as a continuous plain surface for clean, uninterrupted upholstery.

How to use it

Use this muted silver-grey on a statement armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard where its gentle sheen can catch changing daylight. Pair it with chalky whites, warm stone, brushed metal and deeper charcoal for a calm, layered scheme.

A cool, softly reflective silver-grey velvet for tailored upholstery and quietly luxurious seating.

Cotton Velvet Performance Silver 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.
