About this fabric

The image shows an unpatterned Havana brown surface with a fine, suede-like nap and very subtle tonal variation across the swatch. The colour sits between warm medium brown and muted taupe, avoiding both red saturation and cool grey. Its dense-looking, soft-faced appearance makes it best suited to upholstery rather than lightweight window treatments. No composition or performance features are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair this warm Havana brown with oat, sand and cream upholstery for a grounded neutral scheme, or contrast it with dark timber and aged brass for a richer room. The softly matte surface works especially well on rounded, tactile seating.

Use this softly suede-like Havana brown to bring warm, tactile depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Dakota Suede Havana 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.
