Heddon Taupe

Name: Heddon Taupe
Brand: Zinc Textile

Heddon Taupe has a softly weathered appearance, with fine vertical striations running through a muted taupe-brown ground. The close texture gives the colour gentle depth rather than a flat, uniform finish.

About this fabric

The surface is marked by narrow, irregular vertical lines in brown, grey and pale taupe, creating a subtly timber-like effect across the cloth. Its tonal variation keeps the shade grounded and quietly dimensional, while the directional striation adds height to the design. The weave reads as close and substantial in the supplied image, making it best suited to upholstery. No composition, width, rub-test or additional performance specification is supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Heddon Taupe on a tailored armchair, sofa or headboard where its warm grey-brown depth can soften a neutral scheme. Pair it with chalky walls, dark timber and brushed metal for a calm, textural room.

A softly weathered taupe with fine vertical striations, suited to tailored upholstery and understated interiors.

Heddon Taupe is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
