About this fabric

The colour sits between soft grey and muted taupe, giving the surface a warm, gently weathered character rather than a crisp cool-grey appearance. Fine contrasting threads move across the ground in a small-scale woven texture, while the close-set construction keeps the design visually calm. The surface has no obvious printed motif; its interest comes from the delicate variation in thread colour and direction. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Sherborne 15 to soften a contemporary room with taupe-grey upholstery, or carry its quiet neutral tone into relaxed curtains and layered cushions. It pairs naturally with warm timber, stone, mushroom and charcoal accents.

Its softly mottled taupe-grey weave brings understated texture to upholstered furniture, curtains and coordinating cushions.

Pairs well with

Sherborne 15 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.
