About this fabric

The base reads as a softened taupe-grey, enlivened by olive-brown and pale cream flecks that create an irregular, lightly weathered appearance. Small changes in the weave catch the light across the swatch, giving the surface a quiet dimensional quality suited to tailored upholstery. No composition, width or rub-test information is supplied for this exact fabric, and no performance features are noted.

How to use it

Use this restrained taupe-grey on a sofa, armchair or dining seat where its olive undertone can sit alongside warm timber, stone and muted green textiles. The flecked texture also helps it bridge plain cushions with more tactile natural weaves.

A softly mottled taupe-grey upholstery cloth that pairs comfortably with warm woods, olive accents and natural linens.

28 Crocodile 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.
