About this fabric

The fabric appears plain at normal viewing distance, while the close-up reveals delicate horizontal and vertical thread variation across the surface. Its putty taupe tone sits between beige and grey, reading warm without becoming yellow or strongly brown. The even weave gives the colour gentle depth as the light moves across it, rather than a flat block of colour. With no performance features noted, this colourway is best appreciated for its restrained tone and subtle woven texture.

How to use it

Pair Allegra Putty with chalky whites, pale timber and soft grey-beige textiles for a quiet, tonal room. Its warm putty depth can also soften darker brown or charcoal upholstery without introducing a strong contrast.

Use the warm putty taupe as a calm foundation for upholstered seating, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

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.
