About this fabric

The close-up reveals a small-scale woven texture rather than a printed motif, with pale and darker threads creating gentle depth across the olive-taupe base. The colour reads earthy and restrained, with a cooler grey cast in some areas and warmer khaki notes where the light catches the yarns. Its even, mid-weight-looking surface makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Sherborne 11 to bring a quiet, grounded tone to a reading chair, sofa or upholstered headboard, pairing it with chalky whites, warm timber and soft charcoal. Its greyed olive character also works well on relaxed curtains where a little woven texture is wanted without a strong pattern.

A quiet olive-taupe neutral whose fine woven texture suits relaxed upholstery, cushions and softly structured curtains.

Pairs well with

Sherborne 11 is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
