About this fabric

The colour sits between dark brown and taupe, with a muted warmth that feels richer than a standard grey while remaining restrained. A fine, softly brushed nap gives the plain face a gentle depth rather than a pronounced sheen. As the supplied catalogue identifies this material as velvet and provides no performance features or further specification data, its suitability should be assessed against the intended upholstery application.

How to use it

Use this dark brown-taupe on a sculptural armchair, headboard or sofa where its almost-black depth can anchor lighter walls, natural timber and warm metal accents. The subdued surface also works well in a layered, tonal scheme with stone, mushroom and tobacco shades.

A deep, understated taupe velvet with a softly brushed surface for enveloping upholstery and refined seating.

Pairs well with

Young Nureyev 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.
