About this fabric

This is a dense woven fabric with a small-scale zigzag herringbone structure clearly visible across the swatch. Its dark oatmeal tone sits between taupe, brown and grey, while lighter yarns lift the surface and prevent the colour from reading flat or overly heavy. The close weave and firm-looking texture make it best suited to upholstery applications. It is catalogued as Fabric; no composition, width, rub-test or performance-feature data has been supplied.

How to use it

Use this dark oatmeal taupe on a tailored armchair, dining seat or compact sofa, balancing its charcoal flecks with ivory, tobacco leather or dark-stained wood. Its muted depth also works well as a grounding upholstery neutral beside warmer earthy shades.

Pair this deep oatmeal taupe with warm timber, charcoal accents and softly patterned upholstery for a quietly tailored scheme.
