About this fabric

This Dedar Velvet fabric is a solid, pattern-free brown with a warm cocoa undertone and a softly brushed appearance. The swatch reads darkest at the edges, while the centre reveals a restrained, velvety lift rather than a bright sheen. Its substantial visual weight makes it best suited to upholstery, particularly deep seating, headboards or occasional pieces. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification data.

How to use it

Use this deep brown on a generous sofa or armchair to create a cocooning focal point, pairing it with aged timber, dark metal and warm ivory textiles. Its near-black depth also works well as a grounding contrast against lighter walls and natural flooring.

A dark, warm velvet with a restrained sheen, ideal for enveloping upholstery and statement seating.

Alpaca Alto Orso Bruno 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.
