Frieda Umber

Temperleylondonxromoplainvelvet Velvet

About this fabric

This colourway is catalogued as velvet, and the close-up shows a smooth, low-textured surface with gentle tonal variation rather than a woven motif. The umber tone is earthy and enveloping, with darker shading where the pile changes direction and a warmer glow across the raised areas. No performance features or further specification data have been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Frieda Umber on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard where its warm brown depth can anchor a room. Pair it with aged brass, caramel leather, tobacco tones or pale stone to balance the richness of the velvet.

Use this deep, warm umber velvet to bring softly shaded richness to upholstered seating and occasional pieces.

Frieda Umber 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.
