About this fabric

The swatch shows an even, plain weave with delicate vertical irregularities that give the surface a lightly slubbed character. Its taupe tone is warm and understated, with a faint mauve-grey cast that prevents it from reading as flat beige. The fine texture adds close-up depth without introducing a visible motif or strong contrast. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this warm, dusty taupe on a relaxed armchair, sofa or full-length curtain where its soft woven texture can sit alongside chalky whites, mushroom neutrals and aged timber. It also works as a calm connecting shade between cooler greys and warmer beige tones.

A softly textured warm taupe that brings quiet depth to upholstery, curtains and layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Town Roman 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.
