Merida Shingle
Dvvvelvets Velvet
Merida Shingle is a softly textured velvet in a warm, sandy taupe. Its even, unpatterned face has a gentle nap that gives the neutral shade subtle depth as the light moves across it.

About this fabric
The swatch is catalogued as velvet and shows a smooth, closely brushed surface rather than a visible motif or pronounced weave. Its sandy taupe tone sits between beige and light brown, with a muted warmth that feels softer than a cool grey neutral. Fine changes in the nap create restrained tonal variation across the otherwise plain face. This colourway is especially suited to upholstery where a calm, tactile surface is preferred over a decorative pattern.
How to use it
Pair Merida Shingle with chalky creams, warm off-whites and pale timber to keep its sandy taupe character light and understated. On a sofa, headboard or occasional chair, the velvet nap will add texture while preserving a quiet neutral scheme.
Use the warm sandy taupe on an upholstered chair or sofa where its softly brushed velvet surface can add quiet texture without introducing a pattern.

Merida Shingle 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.
