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.

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.
