About this fabric

This colourway sits in a warm soft-truffle taupe, with subtle brown undertones and a gently variegated velvet nap that catches the light across the surface. The plain design and 100% polyester composition make it a practical contract fabric, while the 30,000 Martindale rating supports demanding upholstery use. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with other treatments available on request, and can be wiped clean or professionally dry cleaned in situ. The finish feels smooth and quietly lustrous rather than shiny, so the shade keeps a refined, grounded look.

How to use it

Use Soft Truffle on a sofa, banquette or headboard where a warm neutral needs to feel tailored rather than flat. It pairs especially well with oak, bronzed metals and chalky off-whites, letting the taupe-brown depth sit comfortably in both classic and contemporary schemes.

A versatile neutral that adds depth without looking dark.

Pairs well with

Vintage Velvet Soft Truffle 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.
