Knowsley Taupe

Manor House FabricCCF0068-05

Knowsley Taupe pairs a softly textured mushroom-taupe ground with slim, uneven vertical stripes in a deeper taupe shade. The subdued contrast gives the fabric a quietly tailored appearance while retaining the natural variation of the weave.

About this fabric

The woven surface shows fine slubbing and small tonal flecks across the taupe ground, with darker vertical bands that vary subtly in edge and density. Its 12 cm horizontal pattern repeat spaces the stripes evenly across the 137 cm usable width, while the vertical repeat is 0 cm. At 326 gsm, this is a substantial mid-weight cloth suited to both upholstery and drapery applications. The standard length is 40 metres, providing practical continuity for larger projects.

How to use it

Use Knowsley Taupe to bring a warm, muted mushroom tone to a buttoned chair, bench or sofa, or run its vertical stripes through full-length curtains to add gentle height without a strong graphic contrast.

Use the warm taupe ground and uneven vertical stripes on upholstered seating, cushions or softly tailored curtains.

Pairs well with

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