About this fabric

The colour reads as a muted mushroom taupe, balancing warm beige with a restrained grey cast. Fine vertical and horizontal threads form a small-scale, irregular check, while the closely woven surface creates gentle tonal variation across the swatch. Light catches the thread changes softly, keeping the overall effect calm and tailored. Michel Cenere is catalogued as a fabric from Dedar’s Fire-retardant collection; no composition, width, rub test or additional performance specification has been supplied.

How to use it

Use this soft greige-taupe colourway to bring a quiet, textural layer to a neutral sitting room, particularly on tailored seating, cushions or relaxed curtains. Pair it with chalky whites, warm stone and darker mushroom tones to draw out the woven check.

Its quiet greige-taupe ground and fine woven check suit tailored upholstery, cushions or understated curtains.

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.
