About this fabric

Emile Taupe from Jane Churchill’s Emile II collection is a fabric with a plain appearance and a subtle, closely woven surface that gives the colour a smooth, tailored look. The 50% cotton, 50% polyester composition helps it read as practical as well as refined, while the approximate 140cm width makes it straightforward for a range of interior uses. With no visible repeat at 0cm vertical and horizontal, this colourway feels calm and uninterrupted across larger pieces. Its tone sits in a warm taupe range, shifting softly between beige and brown rather than appearing cool or grey.

How to use it

Use this taupe as a steady foundation for upholstered seating, cushions or simple curtains where you want warmth without strong colour. It pairs especially well with chalky whites, aged brass and deeper brown accents for a layered, understated room.

A versatile taupe that sits neatly between beige and brown, ideal for calm, tailored interiors.

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.
