About this fabric

The dense-looking surface reads as a warm, dark taupe softened by a fine nap and very low sheen. Light catches gently across the face, creating slight shifts between brown and charcoal-taupe without introducing a strong contrast. Its plain appearance and suede-like texture make it visually suited to upholstered forms. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use Dakota Suede Dusk on a statement chair, sofa or headboard where its deep taupe-brown tone can add grounded warmth without the visual busyness of a pattern. Pair it with lighter stone, chalk or warm grey accents to show the subtle depth in its low-sheen surface.

Use this deep taupe-brown suede-look cloth to bring quiet depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Dakota Suede Dusk 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.
