Dakota Lapis

Dakota Collection FabricDAKOTA

Dakota Lapis is a softly weathered blue fabric with a subtle striated texture that gives the surface a quiet, brushed look. In this colourway, the lapis tone reads cool and muted rather than bright, with gentle tonal variation across the weave.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester, Dakota Lapis is specified for severe contract upholstery and drapes, making it a practical choice for both seating and window treatments. The fabric has a substantial handle at 441gsm, and its 60,000 severe contract rub test confirms it is built for demanding interiors. Visually, the surface shows a pale blue-grey lapis shade with irregular crosswise flecking that softens the overall colour and adds depth without a pronounced pattern. The 147cm width makes it efficient for larger upholstery runs and full-length drapery alike, while the textured plain style keeps the finish clean and contemporary.

How to use it

Use Dakota Lapis where you want a cool, composed accent that won’t overwhelm a room, such as tailored sofas, armchairs or relaxed curtains. It works especially well with chalky neutrals, pale timber and darker blue details for a layered, coastal-modern feel.

Pair with oak, linen and deep navy for a calm, tailored scheme.

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.
