About this fabric

The background reads as a soft oatmeal cream, while the black spots have uneven, brushed-looking edges and visible linear texture within each mark. Larger rounded patches sit alongside small, scattered flecks, giving the repeat an informal, natural rhythm rather than a rigid geometric arrangement. The visible cloth has a fine, tactile weave that supports its classification as a versatile fabric for upholstery or drapery. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Dalmation where the warm cream ground can soften its high-contrast black pattern, such as an occasional chair, statement cushion or relaxed curtain. Pair it with warm timber, black accents and understated neutral upholstery to keep the animal print graphic but approachable.

Use the warm cream ground and bold black spots to add a graphic focal point to seating, cushions or relaxed window treatments.

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.
