About this fabric

This Kirkby Design textile is woven in a warm grey-taupe shade with a calm, even appearance. Fine horizontal threads run across the surface, creating delicate tonal variation and a lightly tactile finish. The weave remains understated at this scale, with no floral, geometric or contrasting pattern visible. Its quiet colour and tailored texture make it especially suited to upholstery where a composed, tonal look is wanted.

How to use it

Pair Orion Taupe with chalky creams, weathered oak and soft grey upholstery for a warm, layered scheme. The fine horizontal weave also works well alongside smoother plains, allowing its subtle texture to add depth without introducing a strong pattern.

A softly tailored taupe weave for upholstered seating and calm, tonal interiors.

Pairs well with

Orion 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.
