About this fabric

This Dedar Velvet fabric has a quiet, low-contrast appearance with no visible motif or repeat. The colour reads as a warm taupe overall, while the slightly grey cast keeps it restrained rather than yellow or sandy. A fine vertical nap is visible across the swatch, creating delicate bands of light and shade without disrupting its plain character. The velvet surface gives Dante Taupe a softly luxurious finish suited to upholstery.

How to use it

Use Dante Taupe on an upholstered sofa, armchair or headboard where its warm-grey neutrality can soften darker wood and contrast with crisp ivory, clay or deep brown accents. Its plain, subtly shaded surface also works well when patterned cushions or tactile throws provide the visual interest.

A softly brushed taupe velvet for upholstered seating and headboards.

Pairs well with

Dante 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.
