About this fabric

This woven surface combines taupe, cream and muted blush yarns, giving the colourway a warmer and softer character than a flat grey-beige. Raised, closely worked threads create an irregular broken-diamond motif, with the changing direction of the weave catching the light across the surface. The medium-scale geometry is visible without becoming stark, making the pattern read as texture as much as ornament. No performance features are noted in the supplied information, so the fabric’s substantial-looking woven character is the clearest guide to its upholstery appeal.

How to use it

Use Calobra Taupe on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its warm pink-beige cast can soften deeper timber, stone and chocolate-brown accents. Pair it with ivory textiles and gently aged metals to bring out the cream highlights in the weave.

Its warm taupe ground and raised broken-diamond weave bring softly textured depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Calobra 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.
