About this fabric

This colourway sits in a warm marzipan cream, leaning gently beige rather than chalky white. The velvet pile gives it a soft, even nap that catches the light subtly across the surface, adding depth without visible pattern. At 405gsm, it has the substantial handle you would expect from an upholstery velvet, and the 102 threads per cm specification supports that dense, refined finish. With a usable width of 148 cm and no vertical or horizontal repeat, it is straightforward to cut for seating and cushions where a calm, uninterrupted field of colour is wanted.

How to use it

Use it on a curved armchair, ottoman, or banquet seating where the warm cream tone can lift a room without feeling stark. It pairs especially well with oak, brass, and soft taupe upholstery trims.

A softly luminous neutral that works beautifully on tailored seating and pared-back schemes.

Pairs well with

Dorton Marzipan 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.
