About this fabric

The colour sits between light grey and muted sepia, with a warm greige cast rather than a cool silver tone. Extremely fine vertical ribs run across the surface, creating subtle tonal variation as the weave catches the light. The restrained texture keeps the design understated while giving the cloth more depth than a flat plain. No composition, width, rub test or performance feature is supplied for this fabric, so those specifications should be confirmed separately.

How to use it

Use Cascade Sepia for full-length curtains or relaxed blinds in rooms built around warm whites, pale timber and soft taupe upholstery. Its narrow vertical texture can introduce gentle height without adding a bold pattern.

Use this softly warm greige in curtains or relaxed blinds where its fine vertical texture can add quiet height.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Cascade Sepia without fighting it. 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.
