About this fabric

Catalogued as Velvet, this colourway has an even, short-pile surface with no visible motif or woven pattern. The mushroom taupe tone is subdued rather than saturated, with a soft greyed quality and a slight mauve warmth in the photograph. As the nap catches the light, the plain field moves subtly between lighter taupe and deeper brown-grey. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Pair this warm, greyed mushroom taupe with chalky creams, pale timber and darker brown accents for a calm, layered upholstery scheme. It would bring understated depth to a tailored sofa, ottoman or occasional chair.

Use this softly shaded mushroom taupe on a statement chair or sofa, where its velvet nap can add quiet depth to a neutral room.

Young Nureyev Lepre 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.
