Misc Fabric

Askrigg - Taupe presents a broad, even check in layered charcoal, taupe, warm beige and ivory. Its finely mottled woven surface keeps the strong grid feeling tactile rather than stark.

About this fabric

The large-scale check is built from dark charcoal and softened taupe squares, with warmer beige panels appearing through the layout. Narrow ivory lines define each block and give the pattern a clear, architectural rhythm. A visible fine-grain texture runs across the surface, subtly breaking up the flatness of the darker tones. The overall effect is grounded and quietly graphic, with the taupe areas adding warmth between the cooler charcoal checks.

How to use it

Use Askrigg - Taupe on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its charcoal-and-taupe grid can anchor a room without the severity of a black-and-white check. Repeat the warm beige notes with natural timber, oatmeal upholstery or soft ivory accents.

Use this substantial-looking check to bring graphic structure and softened contrast to upholstered seating.

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.
