About this fabric

At 645gsm, this is a substantial textile with the visual depth expected of an upholstery chenille. The 140cm usable width is presented as a plain ground, with no pattern repeat horizontally or vertically, while the 48 threads per centimetre contribute to its closely built appearance. In this Nimbus colourway, fine grey-white variation catches across the raised weave, giving the surface a quiet, lightly flecked character. The pale, cool tone keeps the heavy texture feeling bright rather than dense.

How to use it

Use Nimbus on a sofa, occasional chair or upholstered headboard where its cool pale grey can soften darker timber and add tactile contrast to smooth finishes. Pair it with chalky whites, silvered greys and muted blue accents to echo the shade’s cool, airy depth.

Use this cool pale grey chenille to bring softly textured lightness to upholstered seating and headboards.

Zoffany Chenille 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.
