Elio Taupe has a softly flecked taupe ground with a compact, nubby weave that gives the surface gentle tonal variation. Its quiet texture reads warm and natural rather than flat.

About this fabric

The close weave combines pale taupe, cream and subtle beige fibres, creating a softly mottled surface with no visible motif or directional pattern. At 478 gsm and 15 threads per cm, it has the substantial presence expected of a hard-wearing outdoor upholstery textile. The 140.6 cm usable width provides a practical working span for cushions and upholstered panels. With a 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat, the textured plain can be cut without pattern matching.

How to use it

Use Elio Taupe on outdoor seating where its warm, lightly flecked neutral can soften darker frames and coordinate naturally with stone, timber or muted green accents.

Use the softly warm taupe texture to bring quiet depth to outdoor seating and cushions.

Pairs well with

Elio Taupe 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.
