Isla Taupe/Gold

Botanica Fabric FabricCCF0216-03

Isla Taupe/Gold brings a warm taupe ground together with fine gold-toned, branching marks in a densely textured-looking pattern. The restrained contrast gives the surface a softly mottled depth rather than a bold, high-impact finish.

About this fabric

The close-set irregular motif runs across the cloth in a small-scale organic pattern, with the taupe base allowing the warmer gold lines to remain visible without dominating. In the swatch, the colour reads muted and earthy, while the lighter marks catch the eye as a delicate all-over tracery. At 312gsm, this is a substantial mid-weight fabric with a 139cm usable width. Its 33cm vertical repeat and 23cm horizontal repeat provide practical pattern information for upholstery, curtains and blinds.

How to use it

Use Isla Taupe/Gold on a tailored chair, headboard or full-length curtain where its warm taupe base can sit comfortably with timber, cream upholstery and aged brass accents. The small, broken pattern is particularly suited to adding interest without introducing a strong geometric statement.

Use this warm taupe-and-gold colourway to add a softly patterned, polished layer to upholstery, curtains or blinds.

Pairs well with

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