Kensington Latte

Brodsworth Fabric

Kensington Latte shows a soft, dry-looking taupe surface with a gently heathered grain that keeps the colour from reading flat. Its warm mushroom tone feels grounded and understated, with a calm, tailored finish.

About this fabric

This colourway of Brodsworth has a muted taupe-brown base with subtle tonal striations running through the weave, giving it a lightly textured, natural appearance. The 100% polyester composition and 140cm width make it a practical decorative cloth, while the 0cm pattern repeat means it reads as a clean, continuous plain. In the image, the shade sits between warm beige and soft brown, with enough depth to add presence without looking heavy. It is a smart, versatile fabric that would suit neat upholstery pieces where a restrained surface is wanted.

How to use it

Use Kensington Latte to soften dark timber, brass, or black accents, or pair it with chalky neutrals for a layered, tonal scheme. Its warm taupe cast is especially effective on armchairs, banquettes, and cushions where you want texture without bold contrast.

A quiet neutral that works beautifully on tailored seating or relaxed cushions.

Pairs well with

Kensington Latte 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.
