Appaloosa Brown

Name: Appaloosa Brown
Brand: Art of the Loom
SKU: APPLSCHCLT

Appaloosa Brown combines a warm cream ground with scattered, irregular animal markings in deep brown and near-black. Its tactile woven surface gives the pattern more depth than a flat printed spot design.

About this fabric

The fabric is visibly textured, with a softly uneven surface that catches the light across the cream background. Varied brown and black markings range from compact shapes to larger, shaggy-edged forms, creating a lively but balanced repeat. The warm oatmeal tone keeps the colourway grounded, while the darkest marks add definition and contrast. Its substantial-looking woven face makes it especially well suited to upholstery where the distinctive pattern can be appreciated across a chair, footstool or statement seat.

How to use it

Pair Appaloosa Brown with walnut timber, dark brown leather and warm neutral walls to draw out its earthy depth. Use it on a single accent chair or ottoman when the cream ground needs to soften a stronger animal-print statement.

Use the warm cream ground and deep brown-black markings to bring an expressive, tailored accent to upholstered seating.

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