About this fabric
The swatch has a dense-looking, close-textured surface with a faint directional nap, creating delicate changes from lighter beige to deeper taupe. Rather than appearing flat, the finish gives the colour a softly shaded, tactile quality. This fabric is catalogued for upholstery, while no performance features are noted in the supplied specification. The restrained Driftwood tone brings warmth without becoming yellow, making the overall effect composed and quietly substantial.
How to use it
Use 26 Driftwood on a tailored sofa, armchair or dining seat where its warm taupe-beige tone can soften darker timber and sit comfortably alongside stone, ivory and muted brown. Its gentle nap will add understated depth without introducing a visible pattern.
A softly brushed warm taupe with subtle tonal movement for calm, tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with
26 Driftwood 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.
