About this fabric

Catalogued as Velvet, Alexander Taupe has a smooth plain surface with a fine nap visible in the softly varied reflection. The colour sits between warm brown and muted grey, giving it a grounded, low-saturation character rather than a bright or distinctly cool appearance. Its dark tone and plush visual handle make it particularly suited to upholstered furniture. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use Alexander Taupe on a statement chair, sofa or ottoman where its deep brown-grey tone can anchor lighter stone, cream and brushed-metal accents. Pair it with warm timber to bring out the subtle brown in the shade.

A dark, softly lustrous velvet for tailored upholstery and richly layered interiors.

Pairs well with

Alexander 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.
