Dakota Suede White

Name: Dakota Suede White
Brand: Kirkby Design

Dakota Suede White presents a quiet, pale ivory surface with a gentle warmth that avoids the starkness of a brilliant white. Its close-up appearance is plain and softly tactile, with only subtle tonal movement across the face.

About this fabric

Dakota Suede White is a pale ivory white, softened by a faint warm-grey cast rather than a stark optic white. The close-up shows an uninterrupted plain face with very subtle tonal variation and a low, suede-like nap that keeps the surface matte instead of glossy. It is catalogued as Fabric, and the supplied information notes no performance features for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this warm ivory colourway on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its restrained tone can lighten the room without feeling cold. Pair it with natural timber, chalky walls and softly contrasting taupe or stone accents to preserve its quiet depth.

Use this softly toned ivory suede-look fabric to bring calm, tactile warmth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Dakota Suede White 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.
