About this fabric

At 814 gsm, Mohair Nimbus is a substantial textile with a dense, tactile pile that is well suited to upholstery. Its 141 cm usable width makes it practical for generously proportioned upholstered pieces. As a plain, it has no stated vertical or horizontal pattern repeat, leaving the cool silver-grey tone and softly brushed surface to provide the visual interest. Light catches the raised nap in pale bands across the folds, while the recessed areas read as deeper charcoal-grey.

How to use it

Pair this cool silver-grey colourway with pale stone, chalk white or blue-grey surroundings for a calm, contemporary scheme. Its plush surface brings depth to a sofa, headboard or occasional chair without introducing a pattern.

Use its cool silver-grey depth to bring a quiet, tactile finish to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Mohair 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.
