About this fabric

The broad checks are defined by softly textured taupe bands, with small lighter intersections where the lines overlap. A fine, flecked surface keeps the charcoal ground from appearing flat and gives the shade subtle tonal depth. The visible dense weave makes this colourway read as a strong upholstery option rather than a light, fluid cloth. No further specification data or performance features are supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Hawes - Taupe on a sofa, armchair or footstool where its charcoal base can anchor a room without the hardness of true black. Pair it with warm timber, stone neutrals and soft ivory accents to draw out the taupe threads in the check.

A substantial charcoal-and-taupe windowpane check that brings tailored texture to upholstered seating.

Hawes - 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.
