Tobago Taupe

Palto FabricM4110-02

Tobago Taupe shows the Palto design in a warm, sandy taupe that feels softly textured and quietly decorative. The small all-over motif reads like a tonal animal-inspired scatter rather than a bold contrast.

About this fabric

Woven in 55% polyester and 45% viscose, Tobago Taupe has a usable, mid-weight handle that suits both upholstery and drapery applications. The surface shows a pale beige-taupe ground with a denser tan pattern sitting just above it, giving the cloth a gentle depth rather than a flat print look. The repeat is approximately V 20cm by H 18cm, which keeps the motif finely scaled and balanced across the width. At approximately 140cm wide, it is a practical choice for larger pieces, while the fire code K and care code Q 8 < T 3 should be checked against your project requirements.

How to use it

This taupe colourway works well in rooms that need pattern without darkness, especially alongside oak, linen, and warm stone finishes. Use it to soften a tailored sofa, occasional chair, or relaxed curtains where the small-scale design can be appreciated up close.

A soft taupe ground keeps the intricate motif restrained and easy to layer with natural woods or tonal neutrals.

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.
