About this fabric

The fabric is woven from 44% cotton, 38% viscose, 10% linen and 8% polyester, giving this colourway a subtly varied textile surface rather than a flat plain appearance. Its delicate crosshatched texture reads as a restrained blend of warm beige and cool grey, with a calm, understated depth. At 140 cm wide and rated to 27,000 Martindale, it is specified for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. Care instructions are professional dry clean only; do not wash, bleach or iron.

How to use it

Use this soft taupe-grey on a relaxed sofa or headboard where its fine texture can add quiet interest without dominating the room. It also works as a neutral curtain or bedspread fabric alongside chalky whites, pale woods and deeper charcoal accents.

A quietly refined taupe-grey woven texture with the versatility for curtains, bedspreads and upholstered furniture.

Pairs well with

Clarence Deflt 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.
