Dakota Suede Ii Citrine

Name: Dakota Suede Ii Citrine
Brand: Kirkby Design

Dakota Suede II Citrine is a vivid, near-solid yellow textile with a subtle yellow-green cast. Its softly brushed surface gives the colour a gentle, suede-like haze rather than a hard, flat finish.

About this fabric

The face of this fabric appears plain and softly napped, with fine tonal variation visible across the bright citrine ground. In the light, the yellow shifts gently between saturated citrus and a slightly greener lime note, adding depth without introducing a pattern. The smooth, tactile surface has the visual weight and plushness associated with upholstery fabric. Its clear colour and restrained texture make the shade especially noticeable on a single chair, headboard or upholstered bench.

How to use it

Pair this lively citrine yellow with warm white, natural timber and quiet neutral upholstery to let its yellow-green brightness lead the scheme. It also works as an energetic accent against charcoal or deep olive.

Use this bright citrine shade to bring energetic yellow-green colour and a softly tactile finish to statement upholstery.

Pairs well with

Dakota Suede Ii Citrine 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.
