About this fabric

Made from 100% polyester, this 137 cm-wide velvet has a substantial appearance suited to fixed upholstery while remaining appropriate for curtains and bedspreads. Its 100,000 Martindale rub test provides a clear performance specification for upholstered use. The taupe colour reads warm and muted rather than grey, with subtle depth created by the nap instead of a printed motif. After care is specified as cool machine washing where suitable, professional dry cleaning, no tumble drying, no bleach and cool ironing.

How to use it

Use this warm taupe on a tailored armchair, sofa or headboard to add restrained velvet depth without introducing a strong pattern. It also makes calm, softly shaded curtains or a bedspread that sit comfortably with cream, natural timber and darker brown accents.

A softly shaded taupe velvet with enough depth for upholstery and an elegant drape for curtains or bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Montpellier Velvet 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.
