About this fabric

The cloth reads as a warm greige-taupe, with a muted beige cast rather than a cool silver grey. Its close weave is enlivened by delicate vertical striations and a lightly uneven texture that catches the light without forming a visible motif. The supplied catalogue identifies this as a fabric, but provides no composition, width or performance figures.

How to use it

Use this gentle taupe-beige as a grounding neutral on a relaxed armchair, sofa or full-length curtain, pairing it with chalky whites, warm timber and soft natural tones. Its subtle vertical texture adds depth where a completely flat neutral might feel too plain.

A calm, finely woven neutral with subtle vertical variation for understated upholstery or drapery.

Pairs well with

Emin Elk 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.
