About this fabric

Catalogued as a velvet, Sansone Terre D’Ombre has a soft, closely brushed appearance across its plain surface. The colour reads as earthy brown with golden-umber warmth rather than cool taupe or grey, giving the swatch a grounded, enveloping mood. Subtle changes in the nap create a restrained tonal variation as the light moves across it, while the absence of a visible motif keeps the emphasis on colour and texture.

How to use it

Use this warm, earthy brown on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard where its velvet nap can add depth without introducing a pattern. Pair it with cream, aged timber and muted olive tones to draw out its naturally grounded character.

A warm umber velvet with softly shifting nap and understated depth for upholstered furniture.

Sansone Terre D'Ombre 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.
