About this fabric

The small-scale pattern resembles closely packed organic cells, creating texture without a strong directional image. In this colourway, muted taupe and soft brown-grey shading give the velvet a grounded, quietly luxurious appearance rather than a bright or high-contrast finish. The fabric weighs 627gsm and has a 143cm usable width, making it particularly well suited to substantial upholstery. It has a 22cm vertical repeat and 6.5cm horizontal repeat, with a standard length of 40m.

How to use it

Pair Pulse Taupe with warm ivory, clay, walnut and aged bronze in a layered scheme. Its softly shaded neutral character works especially well on a generously proportioned sofa, occasional chair or upholstered headboard.

Use this warm, softly shaded taupe velvet to bring depth and tactile interest to upholstered seating, headboards or footstools.

Pairs well with

Pulse 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.
