Pelham Taupe Fabric

Misc Fabric

Pelham Taupe has a deep, earthy tone that sits between muted olive and brown-leaning taupe. Its softly mottled surface gives the plain colour gentle depth, rather than a flat, uniform finish.

About this fabric

The close surface shows fine textural variation, with darker and lighter olive-taupe flecks creating a subtly weathered appearance. In the swatch, the shade reads as a shadowed moss green with warm brown undertones, giving it a grounded, tailored feel. The compact-looking cloth and restrained tonal movement make the colour particularly convincing on upholstered forms where its depth can be seen across the surface. No performance features or further technical specifications are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Pelham Taupe on a buttoned chair, sofa or ottoman where its dark moss-olive tone can bring weight without the starkness of black. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass and softly faded neutrals to draw out its brown-taupe undertone.

A deep moss-olive taupe with subtle tonal variation and a softly tactile surface for tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with

Pelham Taupe 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.
