About this fabric

The fabric has a muted taupe background with repeated ivory leaves, each defined by delicate vein lines and a gently irregular outline. Its visible surface is finely woven, adding quiet texture across the ground while allowing the pale motifs to remain clear. The warm-neutral colouring reads calm and natural, with more depth than a flat cream. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so suitability should be assessed against the intended upholstery or drapery application.

How to use it

Use this warm taupe and ivory colourway to soften a window seat, occasional chair or full-length curtain, pairing it with chalky whites, oatmeal textiles and pale natural wood. Its low-contrast leaf repeat works particularly well where a botanical detail is wanted without introducing strong colour.

A softly textured taupe ground and ivory leaf repeat bring a calm, natural note to upholstery or drapery.

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.
