Sherborne 3 is a warm taupe-brown woven fabric with a close, finely flecked surface. The interwoven light and dark threads give this plain colourway gentle depth rather than a flat block of colour.

About this fabric

The dense-looking weave reads as a practical upholstery cloth, with a softly irregular texture visible across the swatch. Its taupe-brown tone is warm and grounded, while the small pale flecks keep the shade from appearing heavy or overly dark. Subtle changes in thread colour catch the light across the surface, creating a quietly tactile finish without a pronounced motif. No composition, width or rub-test specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Sherborne 3 on a sofa, armchair or dining seat where its warm taupe-brown tone can anchor softer creams, oatmeal shades and natural timber. Its restrained flecked weave also suits relaxed, textural interiors that need depth without a strong pattern.

A dense, finely flecked taupe-brown weave for relaxed upholstered seating and grounded neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Sherborne 3 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.
