About this fabric

This fabric from the Manuel Canovas Iris collection is made in an 80% cotton, 20% polyester blend and comes approximately 138cm wide, with a repeat of V 0cm / H 0cm approx. The swatch shows a closely woven, finely striated surface that sits between matte and softly lustrous, so the taupe tone feels layered rather than flat. In this colourway, the brown-grey base is warmed by a muted mushroom cast, with subtle tonal shifts that become more visible across the horizontal texture. The result is a smart, understated fabric that feels tailored and controlled without looking severe.

How to use it

Use Iris Taupe on upholstered seating, where the fine ribbing will add depth to a simple silhouette. It also pairs well with chalky neutrals, smoked oak and bronze finishes for a grounded, contemporary room.

A versatile taupe with a refined ribbed texture that works neatly across upholstery and drapery.

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.
