About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Ottowa Neutral is formed from closely packed horizontal bands in warm taupe, beige, charcoal and deep brown. A repeated dark geometric motif interrupts the stripes, adding a measured decorative detail without overpowering the neutral palette. The fine woven texture softens the contrast between the darker bands and the lighter upper and lower sections. Overall, this colourway reads as earthy and quietly graphic, with the stripe sequence creating clear visual structure.

How to use it

Use Ottowa Neutral on a structured armchair, bench or sofa where its horizontal striping can be appreciated across the upholstery. Pair the warm taupe and beige ground with charcoal accents, aged timber and other natural neutrals.

Use this taupe, beige and charcoal weave to bring structured pattern and earthy contrast to upholstered seating.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Ottowa Neutral 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.
