About this fabric

The colour sits between pale beige and soft taupe, giving the swatch a warm, understated depth rather than a bright cream appearance. A fine, even nap creates the characteristic suede effect, with the surface catching the light very softly. There is no visible motif or pattern, allowing the tactile finish and nuanced colour to provide the visual interest. No further specification data is supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this warm shell beige on a relaxed armchair, headboard or sofa where its matte suede texture can soften stronger timber, stone or darker neutral elements.

A softly brushed shell beige for calm, tactile upholstery with a gentle suede effect.

Pairs well with

Dakota Suede Shell 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.
