About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton, this Portland fabric has a crisp yet natural handle that suits schemes needing a neat, understated stripe. The 137cm usable width and 35cm horizontal pattern repeat make it straightforward for upholstery and drapery projects alike, while the 30,000 Martindale rating confirms it for heavy domestic use. In this colourway, the taupe ground feels softly earthy rather than cool, and the narrow pale lines lift the surface without sharpening it too much. It is also treatable for FR drapery and upholstery, adding flexibility for residential and contract-style interiors where a tailored look is wanted.

How to use it

Use it on a pared-back armchair, headboard or Roman blind where the warm taupe tone can bring softness without losing structure. It pairs especially well with chalk white, pale oak and muted bronze accents.

A warm, quietly tailored taupe that sits easily in classic or contemporary schemes.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Portland Hartford Taupe Wavy 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.
