About this fabric

The swatch shows a dense-looking weave with a fine, closely spaced vertical grain running through the surface. Its charcoal-taupe tone sits between cool grey and softened brown, giving it a muted, grounded character rather than a warm beige appearance. Light catches the narrow woven lines unevenly, creating understated movement across the otherwise plain face. No composition, width, usage or rub-test specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this dark taupe-grey colourway on a tailored sofa, occasional chair or headboard, balancing its cool depth with warm oak, natural stone and softly contrasting cream textiles.

Pair this deep taupe-grey weave with warm timber, stone and blackened metal for a composed, tailored scheme.

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.
