About this fabric

This colourway shows a deep praline brown with warm, almost espresso undertones, softened by a fine cross-weave texture that catches the light subtly rather than shine. It is specified as 68% Recycled Polyester and 32% Polyester, and it is designed for drapes only, making the fluid, fabric-forward look especially appropriate. The plain style and zero horizontal pattern repeat keep the focus on the tonal depth and the lightly mottled weave visible across the swatch. At 140cm wide and 320gsm, it has enough substance to hang with body while still feeling composed and tailored. Made in India, it suits curtains where a darker neutral is wanted without looking flat.

How to use it

Use this praline shade for full-length curtains, Roman blinds, or layered drapery where a deep brown can anchor pale walls and timber finishes. It works especially well in schemes that need a smart, grounded neutral with more warmth than black.

A dark praline brown with a refined, softly textured surface for tailored curtains.

Pairs well with

Bronte 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.
