About this fabric

The close-up shows a smooth, dense velvet nap in deep umber brown, with the raised folds catching a muted grey-brown highlight against darker shadowed areas. With a weight of 420 gsm, this substantial cloth is well suited to upholstered furniture. It has a usable width of 144 cm and a thread count of 71 threads per cm. The 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats confirm its plain, non-directional surface.

How to use it

Use this dark umber velvet on a sofa, armchair or dining chair where its warm brown depth can anchor lighter timber, cream and muted metallic accents. The fold-catching sheen adds a restrained luxe finish without introducing a pattern.

The deep umber tone and softly reflective velvet nap bring rich, understated depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Cotton Velvet Performance 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.
