Abbey Natural

Ribble Valley FabricCCF0032-04

Abbey Natural is a softly mottled natural greige with a fine woven surface that shifts gently between beige and taupe in the light. The close-up reveals a quiet, irregular yarn texture rather than a printed motif.

About this fabric

This 285gsm fabric has a subtle horizontal-and-vertical weave, with tiny tonal flecks giving the otherwise plain surface understated depth. Its 138cm usable width makes it a practical mid-weight choice for both upholstery and drapery. With 0cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats, the surface can be cut without matching a design. The standard length is 40m, supporting larger coordinated furnishing projects in this calm natural colourway.

How to use it

Pair Abbey Natural with chalky whites, warm oak and softly aged stone for a relaxed, tonal scheme. Its warm greige depth also works as a quiet bridge between beige upholstery and cooler taupe or putty accents.

Use this softly textured warm greige as a calm, versatile foundation for upholstery, curtains or cushions.

Pairs well with

Abbey Natural is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
