About this fabric

Catalogued as an Outdoor fabric, Cannes Outdoor Taupe has the fine, open-looking quality visible in the swatch and is best suited to drapery. Narrow vertical bands in muted taupe alternate with ivory lines, creating a measured stripe rather than a bold graphic. Within the bands, tiny interlocking marks give the surface a subtle woven definition. Its softened taupe tone reads warm and understated against the ivory, giving the colourway a calm, lightly structured appearance.

How to use it

Use this taupe-and-ivory colourway for outdoor curtains, screened verandas or relaxed interior sheers where its vertical rhythm can add gentle height. Pair it with pale timber, stone and warm neutral upholstery to draw out the shade’s quiet warmth.

Use the soft taupe-and-ivory striping for airy drapery that adds subtle structure without overwhelming a room.

Pairs well with

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