About this fabric

Catalogued as a Velvet, Alexander Melange Mud has a close, tactile surface with no visible printed motif. The colour sits between deep taupe, brown and charcoal, giving the swatch a cool, smoke-softened depth rather than a warm chocolate tone. Fine vertical shifts in the pile make the otherwise plain face appear lightly melanged, adding interest without introducing a pattern. Its weighty velvet character makes it particularly well suited to upholstery.

How to use it

Pair this dark mud brown-grey with warm ivory, aged timber and brushed metal for a grounded, quietly luxurious scheme. It also works as a softer alternative to black on a statement armchair, headboard or sofa.

Use this deep mud-toned velvet to give upholstered furniture a quiet, grounded richness.

Pairs well with

Alexander Melange Mud 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.
