About this fabric

Woven in 64% polyester, 32% viscose and 4% cotton, Shelley Bison has the practical feel of a durable upholstery cloth with a subtly softened hand. The repeat is absent both vertically and horizontally, which suits its understated, small-scale texture and keeps the surface looking even and versatile. At approximately 138cm wide, it is a useful width for seating, cushions and other interior applications. The bison colourway reads as a muted pebble taupe, with gentle grey-beige tones and darker flecks that add depth without making the fabric look busy.

How to use it

Use this taupe on a sofa or armchair to bring warmth without heaviness, especially alongside oak, limestone and textured neutrals. It also works well for simple curtains where a quiet, tailored look is wanted.

A quietly textured taupe that sits neatly on tailored seating and relaxed drapery alike.

Pairs well with

Shelley Bison 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.
