About this fabric

The swatch has a deep warm-brown ground softened by charcoal flecks and subtle grey highlights. Its short, plush pile catches the light unevenly, creating a softly mottled surface rather than a sharp printed motif. The overall impression is cocooning and quietly luxurious, with enough tonal variation to prevent the dark shade from appearing flat. This fabric is catalogued as Velvet, with no performance features or further specification data supplied.

How to use it

Use this dark charcoal-brown velvet on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard where its plush surface can provide depth against warm wood, stone or lighter neutral upholstery.

Use its smoky charcoal-brown depth to bring richness and quiet drama to upholstered seating.

Alpakhan 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.
