About this fabric

This deep taupe colourway has a muted brown-grey cast, reading darker and warmer than a pale stone neutral. The close velvet pile is visibly smooth, with quiet tonal changes where the nap catches the light rather than a printed motif. Catalogued as Velvet, its substantial-looking surface makes it a natural upholstery choice. The plain field lets the depth of the taupe and the soft directional sheen provide the visual interest.

How to use it

Use this smoky brown-grey taupe on a sofa, armchair or headboard where its low-key sheen can add depth without introducing pattern. It pairs naturally with layered neutrals and darker timber tones.

A deep smoky taupe velvet with a restrained pile sheen for refined upholstery.

Medici Luxury Cotton Velvet in Taupe 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.
