About this fabric

The close, irregular grid of fine horizontal and vertical marks creates the appearance of a natural woven surface, while the muted taupe-beige colour keeps the overall effect understated. Subtle tonal variation prevents the Driftwood shade from looking flat, with warmer beige threads sitting alongside cooler grey-brown flecks. This wallcovering is made from 100% paper and has an approximately zero repeat vertically and horizontally, so the texture reads as a continuous background rather than a pronounced motif.

How to use it

Pair this warm, weathered taupe with natural timber, chalky ceramics and soft ivory upholstery for a relaxed, quietly layered room. It also works as a neutral backdrop where the fine texture can add depth without competing with patterned furnishings.

Use this quiet driftwood taupe to add subtle woven texture without introducing a strong graphic pattern.

Pairs well with

Potomac Wallpaper Driftwood 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.
