Dakota Suede Cement

Dakota Suede Cement is a quiet, warm-toned neutral with the softly brushed appearance of suede. Its even surface reads as a deep cement taupe, with gentle tonal variation across the swatch.

About this fabric

The close, low-contrast surface has a smooth suede character rather than a visible woven pattern, giving this colourway a calm, tactile presence. Its taupe-brown tone is warmer than a true grey, while remaining muted and understated in the light. This is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted in the supplied specification. The dense-looking, opaque handle visible here makes it particularly suited to upholstery.

How to use it

Use this warm cement-taupe shade on a sofa, armchair or headboard where its softly brushed surface can add depth without introducing a strong pattern. Pair it with pale stone, natural timber and softly aged metals for a grounded, tonal room.

The warm cement-taupe shade brings soft, understated depth to upholstered seating and headboards.

Pairs well with

Dakota Suede Cement 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.
