About this fabric

Small, broken pebble-like forms are distributed across the surface in cream and taupe, with the uneven outlines lending the design an organic, hand-drawn quality. The warm taupe base reads muted rather than grey, while the lighter motifs catch the eye without becoming stark. Its visibly textured, mid-weight appearance makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery. The supplied record lists this as a Fabric with no performance features noted.

How to use it

Use Golconda Taupe on a compact armchair, occasional stool or relaxed Roman blind where its warm taupe ground can soften timber, chalky paint and natural fibres. Keep surrounding patterns restrained so the small cream-and-taupe motif remains the room’s quiet point of interest.

A warm, quietly graphic taupe-and-cream textile that adds gentle pattern without overpowering a room.

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