Keats Natural has a softly mottled, almost brushed look that gives the surface a warm taupe depth. The finish catches the light gently, so the colour shifts from pale beige to richer mushroom tones across the weave.

About this fabric

This fabric is composed of 70% viscose and 30% cotton, with an approximate width of 142cm and a plain design with no repeat both vertically and horizontally. In Natural, the surface reads as a muted warm taupe with beige and mushroom undertones rather than a flat cream, and the subtle sheen lifts the pile-like texture. The effect is calm and slightly lustrous, with darker banding visible in the photo that adds movement without introducing pattern. The cloth feels versatile and refined, with enough body for upholstery while still retaining a softer, more fluid drape than a heavy velvet.

How to use it

Use this colourway on a sofa, occasional chair or headboard where its warm taupe tone can soften stone, oak and aged brass. It also works well beside chalky neutrals and deeper brown accents for a quietly layered scheme.

A calm, low-key taupe with a gentle sheen that suits tailored upholstery and quiet, layered interiors.

Pairs well with

Keats Natural 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.
