About this fabric

The ground shifts between warm taupe, oatmeal and muted brown, giving the fabric a naturally blended appearance. Fine darker flecks are dispersed throughout the weave, while occasional lighter threads catch across the surface. Subtle vertical tonal movement adds gentle structure without becoming a stripe. Its visibly substantial woven texture makes this colourway especially well suited to upholstered pieces.

How to use it

Use Skipness on an armchair, sofa or dining seat where its warm taupe-brown tone can sit comfortably with oak, stone, cream linen and deep walnut.

Pair this softly mottled taupe-brown weave with natural timber, warm ivory and darker brown accents for a grounded, relaxed scheme.

Pairs well with

Ollaberry Roxburgh Skipness 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.
