About this fabric

The 424gsm weight and visible woven texture make Simone Heather a substantial choice for upholstery. Large-scale floral stems, leaves and clustered blooms travel across the cloth, with the 73cm vertical and 70cm horizontal repeats defining how the pattern will fall on a project. The cool heathered ground reads between taupe and lilac, while sage-green foliage and pale lavender highlights bring restrained contrast rather than bright colour. With a 137cm usable width and a 40m standard length, it offers practical coverage for considered upholstery schemes.

How to use it

Use Simone Heather on a reading chair, headboard or occasional sofa against chalky neutrals and weathered wood. Echo its sage foliage with soft olive accents, while lavender-grey accessories will draw out the cooler depth of the ground.

Use this cool heathered taupe-lilac floral for upholstered seating where its muted sage and lavender detail can be appreciated.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Simone Heather 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.
