About this fabric

The colour reads as a cool, stone-like taupe softened with beige, giving the design a calm and understated depth. Irregular vertical and horizontal lines suggest a worn, textural grid, while the pale markings appear to catch the light gently against the darker ground. Its subdued contrast keeps the overall effect relaxed rather than graphic or formal. No composition, width, rub-test or performance figure is supplied for this listing, so those details should be confirmed before ordering.

How to use it

Pair this taupe-beige colourway with chalky whites, mushroom neutrals and weathered timber for a softly layered room. Its broken linear texture would work particularly well on a relaxed armchair, headboard, cushion or full-length curtain.

Use this softly weathered taupe textile to add quiet texture to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Ellice Spacedust 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.
