Madison Taupe

Manhattan FabricCCF0218-08

Madison Taupe combines a warm mushroom-taupe ground with pale oatmeal highlights in a tightly repeated, undulating wave pattern. The tactile surface gives the colourway a softly variegated depth rather than a flat appearance.

About this fabric

The dense 540gsm woven construction has a substantial, upholstery-friendly presence, while the narrow wave motif creates a neat geometric rhythm across the surface. Warm taupe and soft ivory threads appear to shift gently with the light, giving this colourway a muted, quietly dimensional finish. The pattern repeat measures 4.5cm vertically by 3cm horizontally, so the design remains compact and consistent on cushions, chairs and larger upholstered forms. With a 137cm useable width and a standard 25m length, Madison Taupe is practical for coordinated upholstery projects.

How to use it

Use Madison Taupe on a buttoned or softly tailored armchair where its warm mushroom tone can sit alongside oatmeal, walnut and aged brass. It also works as a quietly patterned sofa or headboard fabric when paired with deeper brown accents for contrast.

The substantial 540gsm weave and tightly repeated wave motif suit upholstered seating, headboards and occasional chairs.

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.
