About this fabric

The warm grey-brown tone has a restrained, earthy depth rather than a strong saturated colour, giving the surface a calm, relaxed character. Subtle vertical lines run through the weave, while the draped folds show a soft handle and gentle variation between shaded and lit areas. This item is catalogued as a fabric, and no performance features or further specification data have been supplied.

How to use it

Pair this muted taupe-brown with chalky creams, weathered timber and warm grey accents for a quiet, layered scheme. Its understated vertical texture can add definition to a plain sofa, occasional chair or relaxed curtain treatment without introducing a bold pattern.

Use this softly textured taupe-brown colourway to bring quiet warmth to upholstery, cushions or relaxed window treatments.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Smythson Linen without fighting it. 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.
