About this fabric

The swatch combines a dark taupe-brown ground with subtle lighter threads, forming an irregular crosshatched weave rather than a printed motif. Fine horizontal slubs and delicate vertical texture catch the light unevenly, giving the surface gentle depth without high contrast. The fabric reads as a versatile mid-weight textile visually suited to both upholstery and drapery. No performance features are noted in the supplied information.

How to use it

Pair this cool, dusky taupe with chalky neutrals, charcoal and aged timber for a calm, layered scheme. It would bring understated depth to a tailored armchair, sofa or full-length curtain.

Use this smoky taupe weave to bring quiet depth to seating, cushions or softly tailored curtains.

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.
