About this fabric

The fine, closely spaced ribs create a small-scale vertical texture rather than a printed motif, giving the surface a neat, tailored appearance. Meteor reads as a cool-to-neutral taupe, with enough brown depth to avoid looking flat while the grey cast keeps it understated. The image shows a consistent cord running from top to bottom, with subtle tonal variation where the pile or ridges turn towards the light. This item is catalogued as a fabric, and no further composition, width or performance specification has been supplied.

How to use it

Use this deep grey-brown taupe on a structured armchair, sofa or headboard where the narrow vertical cord can add quiet direction. Pair it with warm wood, chalky neutrals or muted stone shades to bring out its balanced brown-grey character.

The deep taupe tone and fine vertical cord bring quiet structure to upholstered seating and headboards.

Cord Fr Crib 5 Meteor 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.
