About this fabric

This colourway reads as a warm taupe with a мелange-style speckled surface that softens the overall tone and adds visual depth. It is woven in 100% polyester and specified for contract use, with a durable 40,000 Martindale rating for demanding upholstery applications. Supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, it also offers practical reassurance for commercial schemes. Professional dry clean in situ is advised, with further care guidance available in the pattern book.

How to use it

Use Olympia Taupe on banquettes, lounge chairs or fixed seating where you want a neutral that feels more tailored than beige. Its muted warmth pairs especially well with walnut, stone and black accents.

A calm taupe that works well on tailored seating and contract schemes.

Pairs well with

Olympia Taupe 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.
