This Andrew Martin Hudson Taupe swatch pairs a smoky taupe-grey ground with tightly packed, pale zigzag lines. The velvet face gives the repeating geometry a softened, tactile finish rather than a crisp printed look.

About this fabric

Hudson Taupe is a velvet with a closely repeated, small-scale zigzag motif, where pale taupe lines sit against a deeper grey-brown taupe ground. The two-tone arrangement gives the surface a quietly graphic rhythm, while the visible velvet texture softens the edges of the pattern and creates gentle tonal variation across the swatch. Its muted colouring reads warm rather than stark, with enough depth to keep the geometric lines from feeling flat. The supplied record lists no performance features or further technical specifications, so suitability should be assessed against the requirements of the intended upholstery project.

How to use it

Use this warm taupe-grey colourway on a sofa, occasional chair or headboard where its small zigzag rhythm can add pattern without overpowering a neutral room. Pair it with chalky creams, deeper browns and soft grey accessories to echo the swatch’s tonal contrast.

Use this muted taupe-grey velvet to bring softly graphic pattern and depth to upholstered seating.

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.
