Dakota Suede Silver Grey

Dakota Suede Silver Grey has a calm, plain surface in a muted silver grey, with a subtle taupe warmth visible across the swatch. Its soft, suede-like nap gently diffuses the light rather than producing a pronounced sheen.

About this fabric

This colourway reads as a warm silver grey rather than a stark or blue-toned grey, giving the surface a quiet, grounded depth. The close-up shows an even plain face with delicate tonal mottling and a low, velvety nap. Light catches the nap softly, creating restrained shifts across the otherwise uniform colour. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this listing.

How to use it

Use the warm silver-grey tone on a tailored armchair, sofa or headboard where its softly napped surface can add texture without introducing a strong pattern. Pair it with chalky whites, taupes and darker charcoal accents to bring out its subtle depth.

A quiet silver-grey suede effect that brings soft texture and a composed, understated finish to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Dakota Suede Silver Grey 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.
