About this fabric

Baker Natural has a warm natural taupe ground, with pale beige highlights and softly shadowed areas creating a restrained, strié-like texture. The surface appears gently brushed and irregular rather than carrying a clearly defined floral or geometric motif. At 421gsm, this is a substantial fabric well suited to upholstery applications. It has a 138cm usable width, with a 29cm vertical repeat and 35cm horizontal repeat.

How to use it

Use this warm taupe colourway on a sofa, armchair or dining seat where its quiet vertical texture can add depth without introducing a strong pattern. Pair it with chalky neutrals, aged wood and muted olive or rust accents to bring out its natural warmth.

A quietly textured taupe upholstery fabric for calm, layered interiors.

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