Lanark Taupe shows a delicate geometric lattice in a soft, warm taupe tone. The surface reads calm and understated, with the tiny repeating motif giving it quiet structure.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester and designed for drapes only, Lanark Taupe has a neat, small-scale geometric/abstract pattern that repeats every 4cm vertically and horizontally. The 140cm width and 255gsm weight point to a substantial curtain cloth rather than an upholstery fabric, while the 357gsm per linear metre gives it a reassuringly full handle. In this colourway the taupe ground is light and muted, with a gentle warmth that keeps the pattern visible without feeling harsh. The fine woven texture and pale contrast lines create a crisp but relaxed look that suits tailored window treatments.

How to use it

Use Lanark Taupe where you want a subtle geometric effect that still feels calm and versatile. Its warm, pale taupe tone works especially well with chalky neutrals, oak finishes and softly textured blinds.

A restrained taupe weave that layers easily with stone, linen and dark timber.

Pairs well with

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