About this fabric

This Dedar velvet is shown in a subdued alpaca-like taupe brown, sitting between warm grey and soft earth brown rather than reading as a strong chocolate shade. The surface is visually plain, with a fine directional pile that produces slight vertical variation and a softly brushed appearance. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so the fabric’s defining qualities here are its velvet construction, restrained colour and tactile surface. The low-contrast finish gives the colourway a composed, quietly refined presence.

How to use it

Use this muted taupe-brown on a tailored armchair, sofa or headboard where its softly shifting pile can add depth without introducing a visible pattern. Pair it with chalky neutrals, aged timber and warmer stone tones to bring out its understated earthiness.

Its quiet taupe-brown pile brings restrained warmth to upholstered seating and occasional furniture.

Pairs well with

Alpaca Alto Leprotto 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.
