About this fabric

The design is made up of small, overlapping leafy and floral shapes, creating a delicate organic texture rather than a sharply outlined repeat. Its warm taupe base is lightened by ivory threads, while cooler grey-beige marks add depth across the woven surface. The fine, closely textured construction appears versatile for both upholstery and drapery applications. No performance features are noted in the supplied information for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this quiet mushroom taupe on a reading chair, occasional sofa or relaxed Roman blind, pairing it with chalky whites, natural oak and soft grey-beige plains. Its low-contrast botanical detail also works well as a textural curtain fabric where a room needs pattern without strong colour.

Its softly layered taupe pattern brings quiet visual texture to tailored upholstery, cushions or full-length curtains.

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.
