About this fabric

Made from 100% polyester, this velvet is 138cm wide and suitable for both contract and domestic upholstery. The close pile gives the taupe surface a soft, subtly lustrous finish, while the plain design keeps the colour and texture at the forefront. It is machine washable, with Domestic Cig & Match flame retardancy; it can also be treated to achieve Crib 5 contract grade. The restrained shade works particularly well where a neutral upholstery colour needs more depth than beige without becoming dark.

How to use it

Use this warm taupe on a sofa, armchair or upholstered headboard, pairing it with ivory, oatmeal and softly aged timber for a tonal scheme. Its low-contrast colour also sits comfortably alongside charcoal, olive or brushed brass accents.

A softly shaded taupe velvet that brings understated warmth to upholstered seating and headboards.

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.
