About this fabric

The surface is densely packed and tactile, with tiny irregular fibres creating a softly pebbled appearance rather than a printed motif. Its light taupe base sits between beige and grey, while the mixed pale and medium fibres give the colour gentle depth. This colourway is supplied as a Carpet and specified as Soft Deep Pile, a detail reflected in the plush-looking close texture. With no performance features noted, its visual appeal comes from the quiet neutral tone and substantial pile.

How to use it

Use Light Taupe as a warm greige-beige foundation where a room needs softness without a strong colour statement. Its subtly flecked deep pile will complement natural timber, cream upholstery and other muted taupes.

A warm, softly flecked taupe with a dense deep-pile texture and quiet neutral character.

Pairs well with

Light 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.
