Rivoli Taupe

Rivoli III Fabric04982-05

Rivoli Taupe is a softly tonal plain with a warm cocoa-brown taupe ground and a subtle matte finish. The surface reads calm and close-textured rather than flat, giving the colour a gentle depth in the light.

About this fabric

This Rivoli III fabric from Manuel Canovas is composed of 93% cotton and 7% modal, with a width of approximately 140cm and a vertical and horizontal repeat of 0cm, so it presents as a true plain. In this colourway the taupe leans warm and earthy, sitting between brown and grey with a muted, upholstered feel. The cloth has a fine, even weave that softens the light and keeps the shade looking understated rather than glossy. With no performance features noted and a fire code of √CM, it is a versatile decorative fabric for considered interiors.

How to use it

Use this warm taupe alongside oak, bronzed metals and cream linens for a composed, layered scheme. It also works well as a grounding neutral against patterned silks or darker woods.

A warm taupe plain that brings a quiet, tailored depth to both seating and soft furnishings.

Rivoli Taupe 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.
