Barrington Chalk is a muted taupe-grey outdoor fabric with a finely gridded woven surface. Its restrained chalk tone is threaded with darker grey and soft beige flecks, giving the plain colourway gentle visual depth.

About this fabric

The close, regular weave is clearly visible across the swatch, forming a small-scale checked texture rather than a printed motif. Its taupe-grey ground reads cool and chalky overall, while beige and charcoal threads soften the contrast. The fabric is catalogued as Outdoor, making it a practical choice to consider for upholstered exterior seating. The compact surface has a quietly robust appearance, with enough texture to keep this neutral colourway from looking flat.

How to use it

Use Barrington Chalk on outdoor cushions, dining chairs or relaxed seating where its soft taupe-grey tone can sit comfortably beside stone, weathered timber and dark metal. Add warmer beige accessories to draw out the lighter threads in the weave.

Use this quiet taupe-grey weave to bring subtle texture to outdoor seating and contemporary upholstery.

Barrington Chalk Outdoor Fabric 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.
