Misc Fabric

1298/BB38 has a softly mottled taupe ground, woven with warm beige and cooler grey threads. Its fine herringbone structure gives the surface a restrained, directional texture rather than a bold pattern.

About this fabric

The close-set weave creates narrow chevron lines that are visible across the swatch without becoming visually busy. Its blend of earthy taupe, muted brown and grey reads warm in the overall image, while the lighter threads add gentle definition as they catch the light. The dense, even surface gives this fabric a smart, tailored character suitable for either upholstery or drapery. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this warm grey-taupe colourway to soften a neutral seating scheme, or pair it with stone, oatmeal and weathered timber for a quietly layered room. Its small-scale herringbone texture also works well on curtains where a plain cloth would feel too flat.

A quietly tailored taupe herringbone weave that brings subtle texture to upholstery, curtains or blinds.

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.
