Sheepskin Fabric

Sheepskin Taupe has a deeply tactile surface of tightly curled fibres, with a soft, shadowed taupe tone that shifts between warm brown and muted grey. The close texture gives the plain colour considerable depth without introducing a separate motif.

About this fabric

The dense, irregular pile is visibly substantial and makes this fabric best suited to upholstery rather than light, fluid drapery. Its deep warm taupe colouring is softened by charcoal-brown shadows within the curls, while raised fibres catch the light in small tonal variations. The overall effect is earthy, cocooning and relaxed, with the tactile surface doing the visual work in place of a printed pattern. No composition, width, rub test or performance features were supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this warm, shadowed taupe on a reading chair, sofa or ottoman where its curly surface can be seen and touched. Pair it with dark timber, smoked metal, warm ivory and other muted brown-grey tones for a grounded, layered scheme.

A dense, tactile taupe surface that brings warmth and depth to upholstered seating and occasional furniture.

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.
