About this fabric

The supplied catalogue identifies this fabric as Velvet, with no performance features noted. In the image, the pale oyster-cream ground is crossed by very fine, subtly irregular vertical ribs, giving the surface a delicate stripe effect rather than a bold pattern. Its low-contrast texture keeps the colour soft and warm, avoiding the sharper appearance of pure white. The plush-looking surface and directional sheen make this a refined choice for upholstered furniture.

How to use it

Use Kowloon Oyster on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its warm cream tone can brighten the room without feeling stark. Pair it with natural timber, soft taupes and muted metallic accents to emphasise the velvet's gentle sheen.

A softly lustrous oyster velvet with fine vertical texture for calm, light-toned upholstery.

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.
