About this fabric

The Tegole colourway reads as a rich, earthy brown rather than a flat neutral, with a restrained warmth that becomes more apparent in the pile. Fine directional fibres create a softly brushed texture and quiet tonal variation across the surface. The plain face keeps the focus on the depth of the colour and the plush character of the velvet. As a catalogued velvet fabric, it is particularly suited to upholstered seating and other furniture where its tactile surface can be appreciated.

How to use it

Use this warm brown on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard to create an intimate, grounded scheme. Pair it with natural timber, aged brass and muted cream textiles to balance the depth of the Tegole tone.

Its deep brown tone and softly brushed pile bring warmth and understated richness to upholstered seating.

Alpaca Alto Tegole 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.
