About this fabric

This Malou fabric by Manuel Canovas is a 144cm-wide textile composed of 60% viscose, 25% cotton, 8% linen and 7% polyester. The surface shows a fine, stepped horizontal pattern that gives the cloth a tailored, textural feel rather than a flat solid. In Marzac Lin, the colour sits between beige and taupe, with a soft stone-toned warmth and slightly lighter threads catching the light across the weave. The result is a restrained, smart fabric that feels composed and versatile without looking plain.

How to use it

Use this muted taupe to soften contemporary upholstery, blinds or relaxed curtains, especially where you want texture without strong contrast. It pairs naturally with oak, chalky whites and deeper brown accents.

A calm taupe with subtle horizontal texture, easy to layer into warm contemporary 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.
