Todd Putty

Todd Putty has a softly weathered putty-taupe appearance, with subtle tonal variation across its plain woven surface. The restrained colour and fine texture give the swatch a calm, natural character.

About this fabric

The colour sits between warm beige and muted taupe, avoiding both the yellow cast of cream and the cooler feel of grey. A fine, even weave is visible throughout, with delicate flecks and vertical tonal shifts adding quiet depth rather than a defined motif. The supplied details note no performance features for this fabric, so its appeal here is primarily the understated colour and tactile woven finish.

How to use it

Use Todd Putty to soften a room with warm neutral upholstery, or pair it with natural timber, aged metal and chalky stone tones for a relaxed, quietly layered scheme. Its muted taupe depth can also bring warmth to pale curtains without becoming visually dominant.

A softly warm putty taupe with a quiet woven texture for relaxed upholstery and understated drapery.

Pairs well with

Todd Putty 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.
