Dorset Natural

Heritage FabricCCF0254-07

Dorset Natural has a warm ivory ground scattered with closely spaced charcoal-grey, leaf-like geometric motifs. Its woven surface gives the pale colourway a softly textured, considered look rather than a flat printed finish.

About this fabric

This 510gsm fabric combines a creamy natural base with fine grey detailing, creating gentle contrast across the small repeating pattern. The motifs read as compact outlined leaves or stylised petals, arranged in orderly rows across the cloth. A 5.7cm vertical repeat and 5.8cm horizontal repeat keep the design visually delicate and easy to position on upholstered forms. With a 137cm usable width and substantial 510gsm weight, it is well suited to upholstery applications.

How to use it

Use Dorset Natural on an armchair, dining seat or sofa where its warm ivory tone can lighten the room while the grey motif adds quiet definition. Pair it with chalky neutrals, pale timber and soft charcoal accents to draw out the woven pattern without overpowering its gentle colour balance.

A substantial natural-toned upholstery cloth with a finely repeated grey leaf motif.

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