About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton, this Portland fabric has a usable width of 137cm and a 35cm horizontal pattern repeat, which gives the stripe a measured, architectural rhythm. The taupe ground reads warm and sandy rather than grey, while the lighter bands lift the design with a soft chalky contrast. Its 30,000 Martindale result and Heavy Domestic upholstery grade make it suitable for hardworking interiors, and it can also be treated for FR drapery and upholstery. The finish looks smooth and slightly matte, so the stripes hold their shape without feeling stark or severe.

How to use it

Use this warm taupe stripe on tailored curtains, cushions or a statement occasional chair where you want structure without heaviness. It sits especially well with oak, linen and muted stone tones.

A warm taupe stripe that feels calm and tailored for classic interiors.

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.
