About this fabric

The tightly packed horizontal texture creates a restrained linear effect rather than a bold pattern, making the surface feel calm and architectural. In this colourway, taupe is drawn towards grey, with a muted depth that avoids both creamy warmth and stark silver. Light catches the narrow ridges subtly, revealing gentle shifts between lighter and darker taupe lines. The supplied listing identifies it as a fabric in Dedar's Fire-retardant collection; no further composition, width or test data has been provided.

How to use it

Use this cool grey-taupe shade to temper warmer woods, stone and putty-painted walls, especially on a clean-lined chair, headboard or lightly tailored curtain. Its fine horizontal rib adds texture without competing with patterned furnishings.

A refined, finely ribbed neutral that can bring subtle texture to upholstery or softly structured window treatments.

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.
