About this fabric

The tightly textured surface combines pale and deeper taupe-grey threads, creating subtle depth as the light moves across the weave. Made from 100% polyester and 138cm wide, EMP545 is specified for both contract and domestic upholstery. It is machine washable, adding practical convenience to its tailored woven appearance. Flame retardancy is rated for Domestic Cig & Match, with treatment available to achieve Crib 5 contract grade.

How to use it

Use this muted taupe-grey colourway on sofas, dining chairs or headboards where its quiet crosshatch can add texture without introducing a strong pattern. Pair it with warm timber, chalky neutrals and soft olive or stone accents to bring out its gentle earthy undertone.

Pairs well with

EMP545 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.
