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.

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.
