Brio 08

Brio 08 is a warm greige-taupe woven fabric with a closely packed, irregular fleck that gives the surface a softly mottled appearance. Small pale threads catch across the neutral ground, adding quiet texture without a defined motif.

About this fabric

The visible weave combines a taupe-grey base with lighter cream and chalk-coloured flecks, creating a subtly broken surface rather than a flat plain. Its small-scale texture reads as dense and tactile, with gentle variation across the swatch as the light moves over the threads. The supplied record identifies it as Fabric, with no performance features noted and no further composition, width or rub-test specification supplied. This restrained colourway has a warm, settled character that suits upholstered pieces where texture is more prominent than pattern.

How to use it

Use Brio 08 on a sofa, armchair or footstool alongside ivory, oatmeal and pale oak; its warm greige-taupe tone also sits comfortably with deeper walnut or chocolate accents.

Pair this warm greige-taupe weave with natural timber, ivory and soft brown upholstery accents.

Pairs well with

Brio 08 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.
