About this fabric

The swatch has a muted taupe-brown tone, sitting between natural hessian and a softened warm grey. Fine woven threads create a close, lightly textured surface, with subtle tonal variation that keeps the plain ground from looking flat. No performance features are noted in the supplied information. The understated colour and relaxed weave give this particular colourway a gently rustic, grounded presence.

How to use it

Use this warm taupe ground to upholster relaxed seating or make simple curtains where a natural, softly textured neutral is needed. It pairs comfortably with darker timber, oatmeal linen and earthy brown accents.

The warm taupe ground brings a softly rustic, tactile quality to upholstery, curtains and layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Birdsong Multi Plain Ground Hessian 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.
