About this fabric

The face reads as a muted taupe-grey rather than a warm beige, with the lichen note emerging through its earthy, slightly cool tone. Very fine irregular tracery moves across the surface, creating gentle variation without forming a pronounced motif. The matte finish keeps the colour soft and restrained, while subtle changes in the weave prevent it from appearing flat. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair Dino Lichen with chalky whites, weathered oak and charcoal accents to bring out its cool, earthy taupe character. Its quiet tonal surface also works well alongside deeper olive or mineral grey textiles.

A quietly sophisticated taupe textile for layered upholstery and drapery schemes.

Pairs well with

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