About this fabric

The plain surface is defined by a fine, short pile that catches the light gently rather than appearing glossy. Across the draped swatch, the charcoal-taupe colour shifts into warmer brown-grey highlights along the raised folds and settles into deep shadow in the valleys. This tonal depth gives the fabric a plush, quietly dramatic appearance while keeping the overall colour understated.

How to use it

Use this dark charcoal-taupe colourway on a statement armchair, sofa or padded headboard where its soft pile and low-key sheen can add depth without introducing a pattern. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass and pale stone tones to draw out its subtle brown undertone.

A deep charcoal-taupe, velvet-like surface with subtle sheen for tailored sofas, chairs and headboards.

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.
