About this fabric

The tightly packed weave creates a small-scale, irregular texture rather than a printed motif, with tiny light and dark yarn variations visible across the surface. Its warm grey-taupe tone has a grounded, natural character and reads softly matte rather than glossy. The fabric is catalogued as a textile with no performance features noted, so its principal appeal here is the depth and tactile interest of the woven colourway.

How to use it

Use this warm taupe-grey colourway on relaxed upholstery alongside oak, walnut, chalky neutrals or aged leather; its mottled surface will help soften a more structured room.

Pair this quietly mottled taupe-grey weave with warm woods, natural linens and softly aged leather.

Pairs well with

Sherborne 8 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.
