About this fabric

The fabric is catalogued as Velvet, and the close view shows narrow, irregular vertical striations running through the pile. Its warm taupe-beige colouring has a muted, natural depth rather than a sharp or highly saturated finish. Light brushes across the raised surface, creating subtle changes between lighter beige ridges and softly shaded taupe channels. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair this warm taupe colourway with chalky neutrals, pale oak and aged brass for a calm, softly layered scheme. Its vertical texture would add quiet movement to a headboard, bench or occasional chair.

Use this warm taupe velvet to bring softly tactile depth to upholstered seating 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.
