About this fabric

The swatch shows a muted mushroom-taupe shade, balanced between grey and brown rather than reading as a distinctly warm beige. A fine, even woven texture creates subtle vertical and tonal variation across the surface, while the low-contrast appearance keeps the design calm and versatile. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification. The mid-weight-looking cloth is suited to upholstery and drapery applications where a quiet, textural plain is required.

How to use it

Use this soft taupe-grey on a relaxed armchair, headboard or full-length curtain, pairing it with chalky whites, warm stone and walnut for a layered, low-contrast scheme. Its muted depth also works well beside charcoal accents without becoming stark.

A quietly refined taupe-grey plain weave that sits comfortably with warm neutrals, stone and darker wood.

Pairs well with

Oriel Portobello 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.
