About this fabric

This plain velvet in the Vintage Velvet collection has a dense, tactile look that suits contract upholstery beautifully. The 100% polyester composition and 30,000 Martindale rubbing test make it a practical choice for hard-working seating, while the supplied back coating to Cigarette & Match BS5852 supports contract use. In this colourway, the brown is warmed by a muted cinnamon undertone, so it feels earthy rather than blackened or flat. The pile catches the light in fine horizontal movement, giving the surface depth and a slightly worn-in elegance. Wipeable care or professional dry cleaning in situ helps keep the fabric looking smart in regular use.

How to use it

Use Cinnamon on sofas, banquettes, or dining chairs where you want a rich, grounded finish with a softer warmth than true espresso. It pairs well with aged brass, walnut, and cream linens, and sits especially nicely in layered, low-lit interiors.

A warm, grounded velvet that suits statement seating and adds depth without shouting.

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.
