About this fabric

This textile is specified at 432gsm, making it a substantial choice for upholstery, with a usable width of 132cm and a standard length of 30m. Across the cream ground, small terracotta paisleys, curls and leafy embroidery form a closely spaced all-over pattern. The warm spice tone reads muted rather than bright, while the fine surface detail gives the cloth visual depth without a large-scale statement. Its pattern repeat measures 16cm vertically by 32.5cm horizontally, allowing the motif to remain finely distributed across upholstered pieces.

How to use it

Use the warm cream-and-spice palette on a reading chair, window seat or pair of cushions, setting it against natural wood, warm beige and softened terracotta accents. The small repeat also suits compact upholstery where a larger motif would feel overpowering.

Use this dense, warm-toned upholstery on occasional chairs, dining seats or cushions where its fine buta detail can be appreciated at close range.

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