About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Areca Taupe combines a pale taupe ground with delicate ivory-grey lines that trace overlapping areca leaves. The fronds vary in direction and density, giving the surface a softly layered appearance rather than a bold, high-contrast repeat. Its lightly mottled texture and restrained tonal range read calm and considered, with the botanical drawing becoming more noticeable as the eye moves across the cloth. No performance features are noted for this SKU, so practical suitability should be assessed against the requirements of the intended project.

How to use it

Pair Areca Taupe with warm ivory, chalky stone and pale timber to draw out its quiet botanical character. Its low-contrast taupe-and-ivory palette also suits relaxed curtains or softly tailored seating where the frond pattern can remain subtle.

Use its pale taupe and ivory contrast to soften tailored upholstery or airy curtains.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Areca Taupe without fighting it. 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.
