About this fabric

The silver-grey tone reads clean and cool rather than warm, while the directional sheen shifts from near-white highlights to deeper graphite-grey shadows in the folds. Its even, unpatterned surface is confirmed by the 0cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats. At 420gsm and 71 threads per centimetre, this is a substantial velvet with a dense-looking face suited to upholstery. The 140cm usable width and 25m standard length provide practical coverage for furniture projects.

How to use it

Pair this cool silver-grey with charcoal, chalk white or brushed metal for a restrained contemporary scheme. On a sofa, headboard or dining chair, its changing sheen will add depth without introducing a motif.

Use this cool silver-grey velvet to bring softly reflective depth to upholstered seating and occasional pieces.

Cotton Velvet Empire Grey 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.
