Pendleton Sheep Optic places loosely drawn sheep across a warm ivory ground, with the open spacing giving the design a quiet, pastoral feel. Ochre, taupe and charcoal marks give each animal a softly weathered, hand-rendered appearance.

About this fabric

The large sheep motifs are picked out in mottled ochre, taupe and charcoal, with fine dark outlines and sketch-like marks that remain clearly visible against the pale ground. The warm ivory background keeps this colourway light, while the earthy flecks add depth without making the overall design feel busy. There is no composition, width or performance specification supplied for this fabric, so suitability should be confirmed against the intended upholstery or drapery application.

How to use it

Use this warm ivory colourway to soften a relaxed country sitting room, pairing it with natural timber, chalky paintwork and muted olive or stone accents. Its generous pale ground also works well on curtains or occasional upholstery where the sheep illustrations can remain fully legible.

A warm ivory ground and softly weathered sheep illustrations bring an informal pastoral character to upholstery, cushions or curtains.

Pairs well with

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