About this fabric

Sansone Smoke is catalogued as a velvet, and no further specification data has been supplied for this colourway. The image shows a plain, closely textured surface in muted brown-taupe, with fine nap changes creating soft tonal variation. Rather than reading as a clear grey, the shade feels warm and grounded, while the pile reflects light with a restrained, low-contrast sheen.

How to use it

Use this warm smoky taupe on an upholstered chair, sofa or headboard where its quiet depth can soften stronger colours. It pairs naturally with cream, walnut and other earthy neutrals without becoming visually dominant.

A warm smoky taupe velvet for upholstered seating, lending depth without a strong sheen.

Pairs well with

Sansone Smoke 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.
