About this fabric
The warm grey-taupe background gives this toile a quiet, timeworn quality, while the darker linework keeps each scene clearly defined. Visible motifs include parasols, garden urns, trees, seated figures and elegantly dressed characters in small outdoor narratives. Its even, flat printed appearance reads as a fine decorative cloth rather than a plush or heavily textured upholstery fabric. No performance features are noted for this fabric, making its detailed scenic print the principal design feature.
How to use it
Pair the soft taupe-grey ground with chalky neutrals, weathered timber and charcoal accents in a formal sitting room or bedroom. Full-length curtains would allow the pastoral scenes to repeat across the room without making the colour feel heavy.
Use this muted taupe-grey toile for elegant curtains, relaxed blinds or decorative panels.

Pairs well with
Plaisirs d'Eté 83 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.
