About this fabric

The dense herringbone is clearly visible across the swatch, creating narrow directional chevrons rather than a flat plain surface. Its main tone sits between cool grey and earthy taupe, while restrained rust and blue accents add depth without becoming bright or dominant. The closely woven construction has a substantial, tactile appearance that makes this colourway particularly convincing on upholstered furniture. Catalogued as a fabric with no performance features noted, its visual appeal comes from the layered yarn colour and compact tweed texture.

How to use it

Pair this muted taupe-grey with warm timber, aged leather and quiet blue or rust accents. Its small-scale herringbone is well suited to tailored armchairs, dining seats and other pieces where a subtle woven pattern can be appreciated up close.

Use this richly flecked taupe-grey tweed to bring quiet pattern and tactile depth to upholstered seating.

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.
