Sherborne FabricSHERBORNE-COL-9

Sherborne 9 is a deep umber-brown textile with a closely woven, subtly flecked surface. Its near-charcoal depth gives the plain weave a quiet, textured character rather than a flat block of colour.

About this fabric

The image shows a dense plain weave in layered brown and charcoal tones, with tiny lighter threads creating a softly mottled finish. The surface reads as compact and substantial, making it best suited to upholstery rather than lightweight window treatments. This colourway has a restrained, earthy mood: the brown warmth is held in check by its dark, cool-looking depth. No performance features are noted in the supplied listing, so suitability should be assessed against the intended upholstery application.

How to use it

Use Sherborne 9 on a structured armchair, dining seat or contemporary sofa where its deep umber tone can anchor lighter timber, warm metal and natural-texture accents. It also works well in darker rooms as a subtle alternative to flat charcoal.

Use this deep umber-brown weave to bring quiet depth to tailored upholstery and darker, textural schemes.

Pairs well with

Sherborne 9 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.
