Austen Vintage in Vintage is a softly muted taupe plain with a gentle, horizontal slub that gives the surface quiet movement. The finish reads calm and refined rather than shiny, with a warm beige-brown undertone.

About this fabric

This plain fabric is supplied as drapes only and is woven in 90% recycled polyester and 10% polyester, with a width of 140cm and a weight of 200gsm. The swatch shows a soft dusty taupe tone with a subtle warm cast, lifted by fine textural striations that keep the surface from looking flat. Its 280gsm per linear metre construction suggests a reassuringly substantial curtain cloth without visible pattern repeat, as the horizontal repeat is 0. Made in India, it sits neatly in the smarter end of relaxed neutrals, with an understated depth that suits both daylight and evening light.

How to use it

Use this taupe with natural oak, pale plaster walls and linen blinds for a layered, tonal scheme. It also works well as a softened contrast beside deeper brown or charcoal upholstery.

A muted taupe drape that brings a calm, tailored finish to layered interiors.

Pairs well with

Austen Vintage 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.
