Lovely Bitter is a deep smoky taupe with a brown-grey cast, appearing darker and warmer where the folds gather. Its softly brushed surface catches muted highlights rather than a sharp shine.

About this fabric

The image shows Lovely Bitter as a deep smoky taupe, sitting between brown-grey and charcoal rather than reading as a clean neutral. Its soft, nap-like face catches the light across the folds, shifting from dusky matte valleys to subdued highlights on the raised ridges. The heavy-looking cloth is particularly suited to upholstered seating, where those changes in direction would give a plain form quiet depth. No performance features are noted for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair this smoky brown-grey taupe with warm timber, aged metal and chalky neutrals for a grounded room scheme. On a sofa or occasional chair, its low-contrast sheen will add depth without introducing a visible pattern.

Use this deep smoky taupe on upholstered seating to emphasise its soft pile and restrained tonal sheen.

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.
