Alter Ego Taupe is a quiet, finely woven textile in a softly weathered taupe. Its closely spaced horizontal texture gives the otherwise plain surface gentle depth without introducing a visible motif.

About this fabric

The colour sits between warm grey and beige, with a muted taupe tone that reads calm and adaptable rather than stark. Fine horizontal lines run across the swatch, creating a subtle slub-like variation that catches the light without becoming patterned. The surface appears even and low-key, making this a versatile mid-weight-looking option for upholstery or drapery. No further performance specification is supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Alter Ego Taupe to soften a contemporary sofa, headboard or full-length curtain, pairing its warm grey-beige tone with chalky whites, natural timber and deeper brown accents.

A softly textured taupe weave that brings understated warmth to upholstery, cushions or curtains.

Pairs well with

Alter Ego 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.
