About this fabric

This colourway reads as a warm grey-brown overall, with lighter flecks softening the depth and preventing the shade from appearing flat. Fine slubs and short, irregular woven marks create a tactile surface that catches the light in small, varied highlights. The dense appearance gives the fabric a substantial visual weight, making it particularly suited to upholstery. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification data.

How to use it

Pair Tayside Grouse with warm oak, aged leather and chalky neutrals to emphasise its earthy taupe-grey tone. It would bring quiet texture to a tailored armchair, headboard or sofa without introducing a strong pattern.

Use this softly mottled taupe-grey weave to bring understated warmth and tactile depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Tayside Grouse 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.
