Misc Fabric

Arncliffe Taupe combines a softly mottled taupe-grey ground with a balanced plaid of cream, charcoal, slate-blue and warm brown lines. The finely textured weave gives the check a quieter, softened character rather than a crisp graphic finish.

About this fabric

The fabric shows broad cream bands intersected by narrower charcoal, blue-grey and brown lines, creating an evenly spaced windowpane check. Its taupe-grey base has subtle tonal flecking that adds depth across the surface and gently diffuses the contrast between the coloured stripes. The visible, closely woven surface reads as a versatile mid-weight textile suitable for both upholstery and drapery, although no composition, width or rub-test data has been supplied. Overall, this colourway feels muted and relaxed, with enough dark linework to keep the plaid defined.

How to use it

Pair Arncliffe Taupe with warm ivory, weathered timber and soft brown leather for a relaxed, quietly rustic room. Its blue-grey and charcoal lines also sit comfortably with cooler stone tones and understated plain fabrics.

Use this muted taupe-grey plaid to bring gentle country character to upholstery, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

Arncliffe - Taupe 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.
