About this fabric

The colour sits between warm grey and pale taupe, with a restrained depth that changes subtly across the woven surface. A fine crosshatch of vertical and horizontal threads is visible in the close-up, creating a dry, tactile appearance rather than a smooth finish. The low-contrast texture keeps this colourway calm and architectural, allowing it to pair naturally with deeper taupes, warm greys and natural timber. No composition, width, rub test or performance specification has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Nico Putty on a tailored sofa or occasional chair where its soft warm-grey tone can provide a quiet foundation. It would also suit relaxed curtains in a tonal scheme of stone, oatmeal and weathered wood.

A quiet putty taupe with a fine woven texture for tailored upholstery or softly structured drapery.

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.
