Pondichery Taupe
Nara FabricM4078-01
Pondichery Taupe has a softly warm, sanded look that lets the intricate toile-style scenes sit lightly across the surface. The pale blue-grey motif feels airy against the taupe ground, giving the design a calm, tailored presence.

About this fabric
This Manuel Canovas fabric from the Nara collection is 100% cotton with an approximate width of 137cm and a vertical repeat of 68cm, making the pattern feel generously scaled. The swatch shows a warm taupe background with a cool blue-grey printed design, so the contrast is present but not harsh. The repeated island scenes, palms and pavilion forms read with crisp detail, while the muted ground keeps the overall effect restrained rather than busy. With no performance features noted and a fire code of √BM, it is a decorative cotton suited to both furnishing and window use where a more refined look is wanted.
How to use it
Use Pondichery Taupe on a statement armchair, cushion set, or relaxed curtains where the soft taupe ground can balance darker woods and brass. It works especially well with chalky neutrals, faded blue accents, and woven natural textures.
Pair with pale linens and dark timber for a tailored, quietly exotic scheme.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Pondichery Taupe without fighting it. 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.
