About this fabric

Woven in 100% wool, Harvard Taupe has a clean, even face with no visible repeat, which gives it a calm and adaptable look. The 140cm approximate width makes it a practical choice for tailoring upholstery with a consistent finish. In this colourway, the tone is a muted mushroom taupe with a pale, powdery cast that softens under light and avoids looking too brown or too grey. The result is a smart neutral that feels understated, tactile, and easy to coordinate with both timber and metal accents. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BH are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this taupe on a sofa or armchair where you want a restrained, polished neutral with gentle warmth. It also sits well alongside ivory, smoked oak, and black detailing for a composed interior scheme.

A calm, tailored neutral that sits easily on seating and works with warm woods or polished metal finishes.

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.
