Claro Taupe is a close, finely textured weave combining warm taupe with softly contrasting grey flecks. Its small-scale surface reads as gently patterned from close range, while appearing quietly tonal across a larger area.

About this fabric

The 247gsm construction gives Claro Taupe a versatile mid-weight character suited to both upholstery and drapery. Its 140cm usable width and 40m standard length support larger furnishing projects, while the 0cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats allow straightforward cutting. Visually, the fabric is built from tiny interlocking marks rather than a printed motif, creating a softly broken surface with a subtle woven depth. The taupe-grey colour is muted and warm, with the lighter threads catching the eye without creating a stark contrast.

How to use it

Use Claro Taupe to upholster a contemporary armchair, sofa or dining seat where its warm grey-neutral tone can soften darker timber and metal. It also works as understated drapery, adding texture without introducing a strong directional pattern.

A versatile mid-weight taupe weave that brings subtle texture to upholstery and softly structured drapery.

Pairs well with

Claro Taupe is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
