Metro Taupe

Other Fabrics & Weaves Fabric

Metro Taupe pairs a soft mushroom ground with a flowing vertical wave motif that gives the fabric a calm, tailored rhythm. The tonal outline keeps the design refined rather than high-contrast.

About this fabric

This Metro Taupe fabric from Fryett's Fabrics’ Other Fabrics & Weaves collection is a 140cm-wide textile with a 32cm pattern repeat and a composition of 51% cotton, 37% poly and 12% vis. The surface reads as a matte, softly brushed taupe with a cooler mushroom cast, while the raised wave borders add just enough texture to catch the light. The repeating vertical motif has a graceful, elongated feel that suits the fabric’s composed, contemporary character. With no performance features noted, it is presented as a decorative fabric for scheme-led interiors rather than a technical upholstery cloth.

How to use it

Use Metro Taupe where you want pattern without sharp contrast: it works well on a shaped occasional chair, a bench, or full-length curtains in a neutral scheme. Its muted taupe tone sits comfortably with oak, pale stone and warm greys.

The muted taupe ground and fluid vertical motif make this an easy choice for tailored upholstery or elegant curtains.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Metro Taupe without fighting it. 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.
