About this fabric

This 198gsm fabric has a finely woven surface in a muted birch-taupe shade, sitting between warm grey and natural beige rather than reading as cream. The subtle vertical and horizontal texture gives the plain cloth gentle depth without introducing a visible motif or pattern repeat. With 48.5 threads per cm and a 153cm usable width, Ario Birch offers a balanced mid-weight construction for both upholstery and drapery applications. Its understated tone works particularly well where a room needs warmth and texture without a strong colour statement.

How to use it

Use Ario Birch on relaxed seating, roman blinds or full-length curtains where its warm taupe tone can soften darker timber, stone and charcoal accents. Pair it with natural linens and textured neutrals for a calm, layered scheme.

Use this softly warm taupe weave to bring calm, tactile neutrality to upholstery, curtains or layered schemes.

Pairs well with

Ario Birch 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.
