Beetle Multi

Name: Beetle Multi
Brand: Clarke & Clarke
SKU: CCF0206-03

Beetle Multi places individually drawn beetles across a softly textured cream ground, with olive, yellow, blush pink, purple and dark detailing creating a lively but gently faded appearance. The small-scale arrangement feels illustrative rather than overwhelming.

About this fabric

The light cream background is crossed by a fine, even woven texture that gives the colourway a quiet natural depth. Beetles appear in varied olive, mustard, blush, mauve and violet tones, with dark legs and outlines adding definition without making the overall cloth feel harsh. With a 360gsm weight and 126cm usable width, this is a versatile mid-weight fabric suited to both upholstery and drapery. The design has a 23cm vertical repeat and 21cm horizontal repeat, while the stated standard length is 40m.

How to use it

Use the warm cream ground on a chair, bench or relaxed curtain, then pick up the muted pink, olive or plum beetle details in plain cushions and painted furniture. Its softly mixed colours work especially well where a room needs pattern with a light, playful finish rather than a strong contrast.

The softly textured cream ground and lively beetle colours bring a playful character to upholstery, cushions and curtains.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Beetle Multi without fighting it. 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.
