About this fabric

The plain face has a delicate, slightly slubbed texture rather than a pronounced motif, giving the surface its character through weave and light. Tourterelle reads as a muted warm taupe, balanced between soft brown and grey, with darker shading appearing in the folds. The cloth hangs fluidly in the swatch image, making its calm vertical movement especially apparent. With no performance features or further specifications supplied, its visible drape and restrained texture are the defining qualities of this colourway.

How to use it

Use this warm taupe on full-length curtains where its fluid folds can create quiet movement without introducing a pattern. Pair it with chalky neutrals, natural timber and deeper brown accents to draw out its gentle grey-brown depth.

A softly fluid taupe with subtle woven texture, ideal for curtains and understated window treatments.

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.
