Portland Waterbury Taupe Flat

SS22 Images - Enchanted Garden, Geometrica, Water Meadow & Portland Fabric

Portland Waterbury Taupe Flat is a quietly tailored stripe in a soft warm taupe, with slim pale bands set across a gently textured cotton ground. The effect is calm and neatly ordered, with enough contrast to read clearly without feeling harsh.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton, this fabric measures 137cm wide and has a 35cm horizontal pattern repeat, giving the stripe a regular, architectural rhythm. The colourway is a muted warm taupe with creamy narrow stripes, so the overall look feels light, grounded and slightly sun-washed rather than stark. Its Heavy Domestic upholstery grade and 30,000 Martindale abrasion result make it suitable for seating as well as drapery and accessories, while FR treatment can be applied for both curtains and upholstery. Colour fastness of 5 and pilling of 4 support a polished everyday finish, and the flat weave keeps the surface crisp and understated.

How to use it

Use this taupe stripe on relaxed classic upholstery, tailored blinds or interlined curtains where you want pattern with restraint. It pairs especially well with chalk whites, pale oak and putty-toned textures for a soft, refined room.

Use this calm taupe stripe to add quiet structure without overpowering a scheme.

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.
