About this fabric

The Aurous colourway sits between mushroom taupe and warm beige, with a softly earthy tone rather than a cool grey cast. Narrow vertical lines give the surface a fibrous, linear rhythm, while uneven charcoal-brown marks interrupt it with understated graphic definition. The dark fragments vary in length and shape, so the overall pattern feels irregular and hand-worked rather than rigid. Its restrained contrast keeps the wall visually textured without making the warm neutral ground feel busy.

How to use it

Use Aurous across a study, dining room or bedroom where its warm taupe tone can sit alongside walnut, aged brass, charcoal upholstery and other tactile neutrals.

Use this warm taupe wallcovering to add quiet architectural texture behind furniture in deeper brown or charcoal tones.

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.
