About this fabric

The image shows a lightly textured cloth with an airy, linen-like appearance and a calm greige background. Slender salamanders and lizards are scattered across the surface in muted taupe, with their curling tails and small feet creating movement without a strong graphic contrast. The mid-weight appearance makes this fabric suitable for either upholstery or drapery. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this pale greige and taupe colourway to soften a relaxed sitting room, pairing it with chalky neutrals, weathered wood and warm stone tones. It would work equally well on softly gathered curtains or on cushions and occasional chairs where the salamander motif can be enjoyed at close range.

A pale greige ground and softly contrasting taupe salamanders bring an easy, characterful feel to curtains, cushions and occasional upholstery.

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