About this fabric

The swatch shows interlocking diamond and zigzag forms picked out in chalk against a muted taupe ground. Its close tonal relationship keeps the angular motif defined without looking sharp, while the woven surface adds a fine, tactile texture. Weighing 388 gsm with 21 threads per cm, this is a substantial textile catalogued for Outdoor use and well suited to upholstery. The compact pattern repeats every 3.5 cm vertically and 4 cm horizontally across the 142 cm usable width.

How to use it

Use this warm taupe-and-chalk colourway on outdoor cushions, dining seats or a relaxed upholstered bench, where its restrained geometry can soften darker frames and natural timber.

Use this softly contrasting taupe-and-chalk weave to bring subtle geometric texture to outdoor seating.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Nalani Taupe/Chalk without fighting it. 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.
