About this fabric

The colour sits between warm grey and muted taupe, with pale chalky details that soften the overall contrast. Small squared and cross-like motifs repeat across the surface, creating a compact geometric texture rather than a bold graphic statement. The dense-looking weave gives the colourway a gently mottled depth as the light moves across it. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this exact fabric, so project suitability should be confirmed against the intended use.

How to use it

Pair this quiet taupe-grey colourway with natural timber, warm off-whites and aged metal for a relaxed, textural scheme. Its small-scale pattern can work across an occasional chair, cushions or softly patterned window treatments without dominating the room.

Use the softly weathered taupe-grey ground to bring quiet pattern and texture to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

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.
