Raffles Cheetah 3 presents an expressive cheetah pattern in softened charcoal, smoky grey and near-black against a warm ivory ground. Its close-woven surface gives the animal motif a tactile, dimensional appearance rather than the flat look of a printed design.

About this fabric

This colourway combines a warm ivory background with irregular cheetah rosettes that shift from deep charcoal to smoky grey, creating a muted monochrome effect. The image shows a fine woven grain across the ground, with tonal changes and textured motif edges catching the light. Compared with a stark black-and-white animal print, the creamy base and softened greys give Raffles Cheetah 3 greater warmth and visual depth. No performance features or further specification data have been supplied for this exact fabric, so suitability should be confirmed against the intended upholstery project.

How to use it

Pair the warm ivory ground with natural timber, dark stained wood or aged brass, then use the charcoal rosettes as a link to deep grey or black upholstery accents. The softened contrast works especially well on a statement chair, footstool or occasional seat where the motif can remain the focal point.

Use this warm ivory and charcoal colourway to bring a softly dramatic animal motif to statement seating or occasional upholstery.

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.
