About this fabric

The colour sits between warm grey and restrained taupe, with a gentle depth that changes slightly across the weave. Close inspection shows fine horizontal and vertical threads, creating a lightly slubbed, tactile surface. Pale flecks and darker thread variations keep the neutral shade from appearing flat. With no performance or composition specification supplied, its suitability should be assessed against the intended upholstery or drapery application.

How to use it

Use this muted taupe-grey colourway to soften a room with warm white, stone and weathered timber, or pair it with cooler grey accents for a quieter, more tonal scheme. Its subtle woven texture works well on relaxed seating, cushions or full-length curtains.

A softly textured taupe-grey woven cloth for calm upholstery, curtains and layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Wareham colour 3 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.
