About this fabric

The surface has a close, small-scale woven texture, with fine raised points creating a gently nubby finish rather than a flat plain cloth. Its warm taupe colouring sits between beige and brown, giving the swatch a grounded, quietly earthy character. As the fabric bends, the changing light picks out slightly lighter ridges and deeper taupe troughs. The substantial-looking weave and fluid drape make it a versatile choice for either upholstery or window treatments.

How to use it

Pair Marni Malt with warm timber, chalky neutrals and softly aged metals for a calm, layered scheme. Its malt-taupe tone also works well as a grounding upholstery or curtain shade alongside cream and natural linen.

Use this softly textured malt taupe to bring warmth and tactile depth to upholstery or drapery.

Pairs well with

Marni Malt 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.
