About this fabric

This Sherborne colourway reads as a subdued taupe-brown with a slightly heathered effect across the weave, so the surface has depth without a marked pattern. Made from 100% polyester, it offers a practical finish for everyday interiors, and the 143cm approximate width makes it straightforward for furnishing projects. With a vertical and horizontal repeat of 0cm approx., the design presents as an essentially plain fabric rather than a printed motif. The tonal variation in the image gives it a gentle texture that catches light softly, making it feel restrained and smart rather than bold.

How to use it

Use this warm taupe on upholstered chairs, banquettes or cushions where you want a calm, tailored look. It also works well for curtains in rooms with wood, stone or aged brass, echoing the fabric’s earthy undertone.

A versatile taupe with a softly lived-in surface that works neatly across relaxed seating and tailored curtains.

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.
