About this fabric

This colourway has a muted brown-taupe depth that catches the light with a subtle sheen rather than a flat finish, giving the surface a quietly luxurious look. The fabric is woven in 70% viscose and 30% cotton, with a width of approximately 142cm and no repeat, which suits a clean, uninterrupted application. Its fine, softly mottled texture reads as refined and tactile, with lighter highlights breaking through the darker taupe ground. The overall effect is calm and tailored, with enough visual softness to keep it from feeling severe.

How to use it

Use this warm taupe on a sofa, loose cover or bench to bring a polished neutral base into a room. It pairs well with oak, smoked glass and deeper accent colours because the mink tone sits comfortably between cool grey and brown.

A soft, versatile taupe with enough depth for tailored upholstery and elegant layered schemes.

Pairs well with

Keats Chinchilla 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.
