About this fabric

This fabric is supplied as a fabric with a width of approximately 136cm and a composition of 86% cotton and 14% polyester. Clarence Stone reads as a warm stone taupe, with a pale neutral ground and a peppering of darker brown-grey marks that create depth without harsh contrast. The repeating vertical bands are visible in the swatch, but they stay subtle, so the overall effect is textural rather than boldly graphic. Its balanced cotton-rich make-up and moderate pattern scale make it an easy choice for coordinated interior schemes where a calm but detailed surface is wanted.

How to use it

Use this stone-toned colourway on relaxed armchairs, cushions or tailored curtains where a neutral with a little visual texture is needed. It pairs especially well with oak, linen and aged brass, letting the gentle contrast in the weave do the work.

A quietly tailored taupe that brings texture and restraint to classic or contemporary schemes.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Clarence Stone 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.
