Coborn Taupe

Name: Coborn Taupe
Brand: Ashley Wilde
SKU: EWV1COBORN

Coborn Taupe is a quiet, softly textured neutral with a warm taupe cast that reads clean and restrained in the light. The surface has the fine woven look of a practical drapery cloth rather than a flat plain.

About this fabric

Woven in India from 67% polyester and 33% cotton, this fabric is specified for drapes only and has a substantial feel at 347 grams per linear metre. The 140 cm width gives good coverage for curtains, while the 1.5 cm vertical repeat and 6 cm horizontal repeat suggest a subtle textural rhythm rather than a bold motif. In the image, the colour sits between beige and grey with a gentle warmth, so it feels calm and adaptable rather than stark or cool. The visible weave adds a dry, understated texture that suits window treatments needing depth without strong pattern.

How to use it

Use Coborn Taupe for full-length curtains, Roman blinds, or layered sheers in rooms with pale timber, stone, or off-white finishes. Its muted warmth makes it especially useful where you want softness without pulling the scheme too creamy.

A calm, neutral taupe that works beautifully for understated curtains and relaxed contemporary rooms.

Pairs well with

Coborn Taupe 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.
