Durham Abalone
Durham Fabric
Durham Abalone is a pale taupe-grey textile with a softly mottled, linen-like appearance. Its close, even weave gives the surface a quiet crosshatch effect, while tiny tonal shifts prevent the colour from looking flat.

About this fabric
The Abalone colourway sits between cool grey and muted mushroom taupe, creating a light neutral with gentle warmth. Fine horizontal and vertical threads form a small-scale woven texture that becomes more apparent as light moves across the surface. The understated pattern and restrained contrast give it a smart, composed character rather than a rustic or heavily textured look. No composition, width, usage rating or rub-test data has been supplied for this fabric, so suitability should be confirmed against the intended application.
How to use it
Use this pale taupe-grey on relaxed upholstery or simple window treatments where a quiet woven backdrop is needed. It works especially well with warm oak, off-white walls, pale stone and softly brushed metal.
Pair this quiet taupe-grey weave with warm woods, chalky whites and softly contrasting natural textures.

Pairs well with
Durham Abalone 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.
