About this fabric

This colourway sits between taupe and soft grey-brown, creating a subdued shade with a gently softened, almost mineral quality. Fine, closely packed yarns give the surface a lightly grainy appearance, while the low-contrast weave keeps the overall impression calm and even. As part of Dedar’s Curtain fabrics collection, it is catalogued for curtain use; no performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use No Excuses Taupe for relaxed curtains where its greyed brown tone can temper brighter whites, warm woods or deeper charcoal furnishings. Its plain, finely textured surface keeps the window treatment quiet rather than decorative.

Its muted grey-brown taupe tone and quiet texture suit understated curtains in calm, neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

No Excuses 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.
