About this fabric

This plain velvet has a smooth, close surface and a gentle tonal depth rather than a high shine, which gives the putty colour a soft, earthy calm. Supplied at 148 cm usable width and 405 gsm, it has the reassuring weight expected of an upholstery velvet, while the 102 threads per cm specification points to a tightly constructed cloth. With no pattern repeat, the fabric presents as an even, tailored neutral that lets the texture do the work. The colour sits between beige and taupe with a slightly warm stone cast, making it feel grounded rather than stark.

How to use it

Use this putty shade on an occasional chair, sofa or ottoman where you want a neutral that still feels tailored. It layers easily with oak, dark bronze and chalky off-whites, and its warm undertone keeps a room from feeling cold.

A calm, practical neutral that sits neatly with timber, linen and warmer stone shades.

Pairs well with

Dorton Putty 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.
