About this fabric

The swatch reads as a dark, earthy taupe, sitting between brown and grey rather than appearing warm or reddish. A fine velvet pile gives the otherwise plain face a softly mottled texture, with discreet lighter and darker shifts across the surface as it catches the light. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so this colourway is best considered for upholstery where its rich depth and subdued lustre can be appreciated.

How to use it

Use Vladimiro Taupe on a deep-seated sofa, armchair or upholstered headboard to create a grounded, cocooning effect. Pair its brown-grey tone with warm timber, aged brass and pale stone to prevent the dark velvet from feeling heavy.

A dark, softly lustrous taupe velvet that brings depth to upholstered seating and headboards.

Vladimiro 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.
