About this fabric

The colour sits between light taupe and aged beige, with a muted sepia warmth that reads softly rather than heavily brown. Its close horizontal striation creates a fine, tactile-looking rhythm across the surface, while irregular flecks add natural variation. Subtle shifts from creamier beige to deeper taupe catch the light gently and keep the plain ground from appearing flat. As a wallpaper from Mark Alexander’s Grasscloth collection, it brings an understated woven character to the wall.

How to use it

Use the warm sepia-taupe tone across a quiet study, bedroom or sitting room where its fine horizontal texture can provide depth without a strong pattern. Layer it with ivory, natural timber and other softly aged neutrals to echo the wallpaper’s restrained tonal variation.

A softly variegated sepia grasscloth texture for calm, tonal walls.

Pairs well with

Raffia Sepia 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.
