Akaw Vellum

Name: Akaw Vellum
Brand: Zinc Textile

Akaw Vellum presents a warm ivory ground overlaid with a very pale greige pattern of curved, radiating strokes. The low-contrast colouring keeps the design airy, while the repeated lines create gentle movement across the cloth.

About this fabric

The motif forms overlapping arcs that narrow and widen in vertical bands, giving the surface an abstract, almost rippling rhythm. Its vellum-toned ivory background is softened by light greige marks rather than strong contrast, so the pattern reads quietly from a distance and becomes more detailed up close. The image shows a fine, even textile surface suited to the lighter visual character of drapery. The supplied catalogue record identifies this as a fabric, with no composition, width or performance features noted.

How to use it

Pair this warm ivory and pale greige colourway with chalky neutrals, light oak and brushed metal for understated curtains or blinds that add pattern without darkening the room.

Use this softly contrasting ivory and greige colourway for calm curtains, Roman blinds or relaxed layered window treatments.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Akaw Vellum without fighting it. 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.
