About this fabric

The colour sits between warm grey and muted taupe, giving the fabric more softness than a flat cool grey. Closely packed vertical ribs form the defining texture, with darker lines alongside subtly raised, lighter ridges. This is a textile fabric catalogued for upholstery; no composition, width, rub-test figure or additional performance feature is supplied for this exact listing. The restrained colour and linear texture give the swatch a neat, tailored appearance.

How to use it

Use this warm taupe-grey colourway on a contemporary sofa, dining chair or headboard where its fine vertical cord can add texture without introducing a strong pattern. Pair it with chalky whites, walnut timber and softened charcoal for a calm, structured scheme.

The warm taupe-grey ground and fine vertical cord give upholstery a quiet, tailored texture.

Pairs well with

Cord Fr Crib 5 Dolomite 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.
