Name: Rhythm Taupe
Brand: Clarke & Clarke
SKU: CCF0026-12

Rhythm Taupe is a warm, earthy velvet with irregular vertical bands that shift between pale taupe, mushroom and deeper brown. Its softly brushed surface catches the light unevenly, giving the plain stripe effect visible depth without a printed motif.

About this fabric

Made from 387gsm velvet, Rhythm Taupe has the substantial handle expected of a fabric suited to upholstery. The surface is formed by close, uneven vertical ribs and tonal streaks, with darker brown lines breaking through the warm taupe ground. A 4.5cm horizontal repeat keeps the stripe movement fine and closely spaced across the 143cm usable width. The 40m standard length makes it practical for coordinating larger upholstery requirements.

How to use it

Use Rhythm Taupe on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its warm mushroom-brown tones can soften timber, aged brass and cream upholstery. The irregular vertical direction also brings gentle height and texture to tailored silhouettes without introducing a bold graphic pattern.

A substantial taupe velvet with irregular vertical shading for tailored upholstery and softly layered neutral schemes.

Rhythm 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.
