About this fabric

Catalogued as a velvet, Young Nureyev Argilla has a plain face with no visible printed or woven motif. The colour sits between warm taupe and softened brown, giving the Argilla shade an earthy, clay-like character without becoming overtly terracotta. Light moves gently across the short pile, creating subtle tonal depth within the otherwise quiet surface. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification data.

How to use it

Pair this deep clay taupe with warm ivory, aged timber and dark bronze for a grounded, quietly luxurious scheme. It is especially effective on a substantial armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard where the velvet pile can catch changing light.

A deep clay-taupe velvet that brings soft, earthy depth to upholstered seating and headboards.

Pairs well with

Young Nureyev Argilla 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.
