Clarence Azure

Essential Colour III - Colour FabricBF11185.645

Clarence Azure appears as a softly muted taupe textile with a very fine, closely spaced woven texture. Its even surface reads warm beige-grey in the swatch, with subtle tonal variation rather than a bold motif.

About this fabric

This Clarence Azure colourway has a restrained warm taupe tone, sitting between beige and soft grey, while the minute woven structure adds discreet visual depth. The composition is 8% Polyester, 44% Cotton, 38% Viscose and 10% Linen, giving the fabric a mixed-fibre textile construction. At 140 cm (55") wide, it is specified for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. Its 27,000 Martindale rub test supports its use across both decorative window treatments and regularly used upholstered pieces.

How to use it

Use the warm taupe shade to soften a tailored sofa or headboard, or carry it through full-length curtains and a bedspread for a calm, coordinated scheme. Its fine, low-contrast weave pairs especially well with darker timber, aged brass and cream upholstery.

The softly flecked taupe weave brings quiet warmth to tailored upholstery, curtains and bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Clarence Azure 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.
