About this fabric

This Albeck fabric by Colefax and Fowler has a close, even weave that gives Marldon Taupe a neat, tailored look. The mix of 57% viscose, 21% cotton, 12% linen and 10% polyester creates a dry-luxe handle with a gentle natural texture, while the 145cm approx width makes it practical for a range of interiors. With no repeat pattern and a plain surface, the colour itself does the work here: a muted taupe shaded with beige and soft grey that feels warmer in the light and more grounded in shade. It is a versatile, quietly structured cloth that suits both upholstery and drapery where a restrained finish is wanted.

How to use it

Use Marldon Taupe on a sofa, banquette or slip cushions to bring a calm, earthy base to a room. It pairs especially well with oak, chalky whites and deeper brown or bronze accents.

A quietly refined neutral that works on tailored upholstery or soft drapery.

Pairs well with

Marldon 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.
