Cambridge Dovetail
Cambridge Fabric
Cambridge Dovetail is a quiet mushroom-taupe cloth with a fine horizontal texture that becomes especially expressive in its soft, gathered folds. The cool, muted shade gives the surface a gently weathered depth rather than a flat plain finish.

About this fabric
The fabric appears in a restrained taupe-grey tone, with subtle brown warmth visible across the closely woven surface. Fine horizontal lines run consistently through the cloth, creating a delicate ribbed effect without a distinct motif. In the swatch image, the fabric falls fluidly into overlapping folds, allowing the shade to shift from lighter taupe highlights to deeper mushroom shadows. Its understated texture and low-contrast colour give Cambridge Dovetail a relaxed, quietly tailored character.
How to use it
Use this cool mushroom taupe for full-length curtains or relaxed blinds where its fine horizontal texture can be seen across broad drops of cloth. Pair it with warm timber, soft ivory and deeper brown accents to bring out the shade’s subtle depth.
Use this softly textured taupe for calm, understated curtains or relaxed Roman blinds.

Pairs well with
Cambridge Dovetail 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.
