About this fabric

Specified as an Outdoor textile, this colourway is suited to upholstery where its structured repeated pattern can make a clear visual statement. The zigzag bands shift between muted taupe, chalky cream, smoky grey, charcoal and small areas of warm brown. Its low-contrast, mottled appearance softens the geometry, while the darker broken lines add depth across the surface. The overall effect is relaxed and earthy rather than stark, with the pale tones keeping the pattern light.

How to use it

Use this taupe colourway on outdoor seat cushions or relaxed upholstered furniture, then echo its charcoal and warm brown details in edging, timber and accessories. Its chalky cream highlights also sit comfortably with pale stone and sun-washed neutrals.

Pair the muted taupe ground with natural timber, warm stone and charcoal accents for a grounded outdoor scheme.

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.
