About this fabric

The image shows an even, fine-scale weave in a bitter taupe shade that sits between brown and grey, with a gently softened appearance rather than a sharp or contrasting tone. Broad folds create darker bands and subtle highlights, making the cloth read as fluid and pliable. Supplied as a fabric, it has no performance features noted, so its suitability should be assessed according to the intended application and project requirements.

How to use it

Use this deep bitter-taupe colourway for full-length curtains in rooms with warm timber, aged metal or chalky neutral walls. Its quiet surface also suits softly gathered blinds or understated layered window treatments.

A deep bitter-taupe plain weave that brings quiet depth to full-length curtains and relaxed window treatments.

Pairs well with

Marque-Linen Bitter 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.
