About this fabric

Woven in 90% Recycled Polyester and 10% Polyester, Austen Praline is supplied as a drapes-only fabric with a 140cm width and a cloth weight of 200gsm, or 280gsm per linear metre. The surface reads as a rich brown with cocoa and walnut undertones, softened by a fine, almost brushed-looking horizontal grain. Its plain style keeps the colour front and centre, while the low-key texture gives the shade a gentle depth rather than a flat finish. Made in India, it is an elegant choice where a warm, grounded window fabric is needed.

How to use it

Use this praline brown to frame pale walls, creamy sheers or wood finishes, where its dark warmth will anchor the room without feeling harsh. It works especially well in spaces that need a smart, quietly cocooning drape colour.

A rich, understated brown that brings warmth and depth to tailored window treatments.

Pairs well with

Austen Praline 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.
