About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Kiku Taupe presents a tightly structured weave with tiny horizontal and vertical variations visible across the swatch. The balanced taupe, oatmeal and pale grey tones create a muted, warm-neutral colourway rather than a flat beige. Light catches the raised threads subtly, giving the surface gentle depth while retaining a calm, understated character. Its close, versatile-looking construction makes it suitable to consider for both upholstery and drapery applications.

How to use it

Use Kiku Taupe to soften a room built around warm stone, mushroom, putty or pale timber tones. Its lightly flecked surface would add quiet dimension to a simple armchair, headboard or full-length curtain without introducing a strong pattern.

A softly mottled taupe weave that brings quiet texture to upholstery, cushions, curtains or blinds.

Pairs well with

Kiku 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.
