About this fabric

This Alston collection fabric is woven in a quiet greige-taupe shade, balancing a soft pinkish warmth with the cooler restraint of grey. The close-up reveals a fine plain weave with delicate horizontal and vertical irregularity rather than a printed motif. That lightly tactile surface keeps the colour from appearing flat while retaining a calm, low-contrast look. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this pale taupe colourway where a room needs a warm grey foundation without strong pattern, such as a relaxed sofa, occasional chair or softly coordinated window treatment. Pair it with chalky whites, natural timber and muted blush or stone accents to draw out its gentle warmth.

A softly textured neutral that brings quiet warmth to upholstery, curtains and relaxed interiors.

Pairs well with

Roden Abelia 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.
