Misc Fabric

Markham Chocolate is a deeply toned brown fabric with a dense, tactile weave. Fine vertical lines and softly varied darker patches give the surface quiet visual depth rather than a pronounced pattern.

About this fabric

The colour reads as rich chocolate brown, with near-black areas appearing between warmer brown threads as the light shifts across the weave. Its closely packed surface has a substantial, upholstery-friendly appearance, while the restrained tonal variation keeps the design understated. The subtle linear texture is visible across the swatch, accompanied by faint block-like changes in tone. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this chocolate brown colourway on a structured armchair, footstool or sofa where its dark, softly varied surface can add depth without introducing a strong motif. Pair it with warm timber, aged leather and lighter neutral walls to prevent the tone from feeling flat.

A deep chocolate woven texture with subtle vertical striation, well suited to tailored upholstery and darker interiors.

Pairs well with

Markham Chocolate Fabric 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.
