About this fabric

The fabric is 140cm wide and weighs 730gsm, giving it the substantial handle expected of an upholstery cloth. Fine pale lines and branching, leaf-like marks drift through the softly mottled ground, creating visual interest without a defined repeating motif. With a vertical and horizontal pattern repeat of 0cm, the texture can be positioned freely across upholstery panels. Its gentle blend of warm ivory, stone and greige tones stays understated rather than stark.

How to use it

Use Dawson Natural on a generous armchair, sofa or headboard where its warm stone-neutral tone can soften darker timber and bring a quiet, tactile layer to the room. Pair it with chalky whites, oatmeal linens and muted olive accents for a naturally restful scheme.

A quiet warm-neutral upholstery cloth for relaxed seating, headboards and softly layered schemes.

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