About this fabric

The taupe-buff background gives the design an earthy, muted tone, while the white pattern creates clear definition without appearing harsh. Stepped zigzags, diamond shapes and repeated arrow-like motifs are arranged across the back, seat and front of the chair. The close woven surface appears substantial and holds the chair’s upholstery contours neatly in this photograph. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this warm taupe-buff colourway on occasional chairs, dining seats or a compact sofa where its white geometry can provide structure without overwhelming the room. It works particularly well with chalky whites, pale timber and deep brown details.

Pair the warm taupe-buff ground with natural timber, ivory upholstery and darker brown accents for a softly structured scheme.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Navaho Buff Fabric without fighting it. 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.
