About this fabric

The surface is dominated by muted taupe and stone shades, with irregular mineral-like patches that shift from pale chalk to smoky grey. Fine dark tracery winds through the pattern, giving the cloth visual depth without a strong directional motif. At 346 gsm, Marmo Taupe has a substantial presence suited to upholstery. The design has a 41 cm vertical repeat and a 48.2 cm horizontal repeat, while the 142 cm usable width supports practical cutting on larger pieces.

How to use it

Use Marmo Taupe on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its cool, softly mottled depth can sit alongside ivory boucle, warm timber and brushed metal. Its low-contrast mineral pattern is particularly effective in calm, tonal rooms.

Use this softly marbled taupe on statement upholstery, balanced with warm stone, chalk and aged timber.

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