Venus Spice combines a warm cream woven ground with a finely repeated taupe lattice, punctuated by alternating rust-orange and ochre motifs. Its softly varied weave gives the pale background a tactile, quietly grounded appearance.

About this fabric

The small-scale geometric pattern is formed from linked taupe lines, with rounded rust-orange and ochre details set into the repeating intersections. The colourway feels warm rather than cool: the orange accents bring spice and depth, while the cream ground keeps the overall effect light. At 401gsm, this is a substantial woven fabric well suited to upholstery. It has a 137cm usable width, with a compact 5.3cm vertical and 2.8cm horizontal pattern repeat.

How to use it

Use Venus Spice on a statement chair, footstool or occasional upholstery where its cream-and-taupe structure can sit comfortably with natural timber and warm neutral walls. Pick up the rust-orange or ochre motifs in cushions or ceramics for a more layered scheme.

Pairs well with

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