About this fabric

The surface appears finely textured rather than patterned, with tiny tonal variations that prevent the mauve-taupe shade from looking flat. Its cool dusty undertone is softened by a warm mushroom cast, creating a restrained, adaptable colour. Subtle directional changes across the surface add a light nap-like depth without a strong sheen. No performance features are noted for this fabric, so suitability should be assessed against the intended application.

How to use it

Use this dusty mauve-taupe on a relaxed sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtain where its muted purple-grey tone can sit quietly alongside ivory, stone and dark timber.

Use this softly muted mauve-taupe with warm ivory, mushroom or deep brown accents for a calm, layered scheme.

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.
