Abingdon Hidden Depths Velvet Taupe is a plush Saxony carpet from the Love Story collection by Abingdon. Velvet Taupe is a soft grey brown that feels both warm and understated. It suits living rooms, stairs and landings, because the mid tone hides everyday marks better than a pale shade.
Abingdon makes this Saxony heavyweight in the UK from 100% polyester. Its 18.5mm pile of densely twisted fibres creates a thick, plush surface that feels like velvet underfoot. However, it is far tougher than it looks, so it copes well with heavy foot traffic. As a result, it is a smart choice for busy family homes as well as quiet bedrooms.
Spills happen in every home, so easy cleaning matters. Abingdon describes Hidden Depths as bleach cleanable, which means many stubborn marks can come out without damaging the colour. The carpet is rated for heavy domestic and general commercial use, and it also comes with a 10 year wear warranty. In addition, the fleece backing adds extra comfort underfoot and makes fitting easier. With a tog rating of 2.85, it also helps keep a room warm. Finally, widths of 2.5m, 4m and 5m mean fewer seams in larger rooms.
For the best result, we recommend fitting Hidden Depths Velvet Taupe over a quality underlay. A good underlay makes the pile feel even softer, and it also helps the carpet last longer. On stairs, the dense Saxony pile wraps neatly over each tread, so it looks smart from top to bottom. Our team will advise on the right underlay for each room.
