About this fabric

The surface is visibly plain, with a fine, closely spaced weave that gives the fabric a smooth, understated texture rather than a pronounced motif. Its donkey colouring sits between taupe, brown and grey, reading warm in the highlights and deeper charcoal-brown where the folds gather. The fluid handle shown here makes Husk Donkey particularly convincing for full-length curtains, where its soft drape can create layered, tonal movement. Its restrained depth also suits calm schemes built around stone, mushroom, walnut and aged metal.

How to use it

Use Husk Donkey for relaxed full-length curtains or softly gathered blinds, pairing its warm grey-brown tone with chalky walls, walnut timber and natural linen. The shade is especially effective where you want depth without introducing a strong colour contrast.

Use this softly muted taupe at windows or across a relaxed room scheme with natural woods and warm neutrals.

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.
