Empower Plain Nomad

The house has discontinued this one. We are keeping the page so the link still works, but we can no longer order it. There are alternatives below, and if you have a cutting or a photograph we will help you match it.

Empower Plain Nomad is a quiet, solid taupe-grey textile with a softly granular plain weave. Its low-contrast surface shifts gently between warm grey and muted brown as the light moves across the swatch.

About this fabric

The visible weave is even and understated, with a fine grain that gives the flat colour a little depth without introducing a motif. This fabric weighs 235gsm and has 106 threads per cm, supporting its neat, mid-weight handle. With a 143cm usable width and 0cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat, it can be cut without matching a design. The restrained Nomad tone makes the cloth suitable for both upholstered forms and softly structured drapery.

How to use it

Use Nomad as a calm taupe-grey foundation on a sofa, headboard or dining chair, then bring in warmer timber and textured neutrals to draw out its subtle brown undertone. Its plain surface also works well on curtains where the tonal weave can remain quiet and unfussy.

A quietly textured taupe-grey plain weave for coordinated upholstery and drapery schemes.

Pairs well with

Empower Plain Nomad 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.
