About this fabric

The colour sits between warm taupe and cool greige, with subtle tonal variation across the surface rather than a completely flat block of colour. The small-scale weave has a neat, matte texture and a restrained, tailored character. Made from 100% rPET, PAD3980 is 138cm wide and graded for contract and domestic upholstery. It is machine washable and carries Contract GreenFR® Plus flame retardancy.

How to use it

Use this pale taupe-grey colourway on a sofa, headboard or dining seat where its quiet tone can soften darker timber, stone or charcoal accents. The fine woven grid adds texture without introducing a strong pattern.

The pale taupe-grey tone and neat woven texture suit understated upholstery in both contemporary and traditional rooms.

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.
