Baker House Fr Velvet Espresso

Baker House Fr Velvet Espresso appears as a rich, deep brown with a softly shifting surface as the velvet pile catches the light. Its plain face and dark espresso tone create a particularly enveloping look.

About this fabric

The close, even velvet pile gives this colourway a smooth appearance, while the image shows gentle tonal variation across the surface rather than a strong pattern. Espresso is a warm, almost chocolate brown that reads dense and quietly luxurious. Made from 100% Polyester Fr and supplied at 140 cm (55") wide, it is specified for fixed upholstery. A 100,000 Martindale rub test supports its use on hard-wearing upholstered pieces; care requires professional dry cleaning, with no washing, bleaching or ironing.

How to use it

Use this espresso brown on a sofa, dining chair or buttoned armchair where its dark warmth can anchor lighter walls, natural timber and softly coloured cushions. The subtle pile shift adds depth without introducing a visible motif.

A deep, warm brown velvet with a subtle nap sheen for tailored seating.

Pairs well with

Baker House Fr Velvet Espresso 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.
