Trace Twilight

Trace Twilight is a quiet cool grey-taupe textile with a softly variegated surface. Its fine vertical grain gives the plain ground gentle movement without introducing a visible motif.

About this fabric

The colour reads as a muted grey with a subtle taupe warmth, while the close weave creates delicate tonal variation across the swatch. Fine vertical threads catch the light softly, giving this otherwise plain fabric a lightly tactile, linen-like character. No performance features are noted for this fabric, so its understated woven appearance is the defining detail of this colourway.

How to use it

Use Trace Twilight to bring a calm, cool-neutral tone to tailored seating, or pair it with pale stone, chalk and weathered timber for a quietly layered room. Its restrained vertical texture also works well on simple curtains where a plain grey might otherwise feel flat.

A restrained cool grey-taupe weave suited to tailored upholstery and softly structured window treatments.

Pairs well with

Trace Twilight 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.
