About this fabric

This colourway reads as a muted zinc taupe, blending beige, grey and stone tones across the woven surface for a softly weathered effect. The fabric’s nubby tabby texture gives it visible depth and a slightly dry handle in the image, making the weave itself the main visual interest. As part of Titley & Marr’s Woven Fabric collection, it is presented here as a textile with no performance features noted. The balanced mid-tone shade feels calm rather than stark, so it works well where a natural neutral is needed without looking flat.

How to use it

Use this zinc tone to warm up pale walls, pairing it with oak, linen and matte metals for a quietly layered scheme. Its restrained depth also makes it a useful backdrop for patterned cushions or softer curtain layers.

A quietly versatile neutral with enough texture to add depth to upholstery or curtains.

Pairs well with

Tabby Weave Zinc 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.
