Orkney 37 Frappe is a muted taupe-grey fabric with a finely worked surface that shifts gently between warm grey and deeper mushroom tones. Its close, linear texture gives the colour understated depth rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric
The surface shows a fine crosshatched weave, with pale threads intersecting across the taupe ground to create a softly weathered, tactile appearance. Subtle darker areas add movement, while the overall colour remains calm, earthy and low in contrast. Catalogued as a fabric, this versatile mid-toned textile is suited to both upholstery and drapery. No performance features are noted for this colourway.
How to use it
Pair the warm grey-brown tone with natural oak, stone, chalky whites and softened charcoal. On a sofa or occasional chair, its quiet woven variation adds texture without introducing a strong pattern; at a window, it keeps the scheme relaxed and tonal.
Use this softly mottled taupe-grey weave to bring quiet depth to upholstered seating, cushions or relaxed window treatments.
Pairs well with
37 Frappe 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.
