Melange Natural

Urban Fabric FabricCCF0742-04

Melange Natural brings together a smoky charcoal-black ground with blurred vertical flashes of oat, beige and muted copper. Its dense, streaked surface gives the colourway a layered, tactile appearance rather than a flat neutral finish.

About this fabric

At 371gsm, this woven fabric has the visual weight and substantial handle suited to upholstery. The Melange Natural palette moves from deep black and graphite through warm stone and pale oat, with occasional copper-brown highlights catching between the darker streaks. Its elongated, feathered motif has a vertical direction and measures 18.5cm high by 17.3cm wide. The fabric has a 138cm usable width and a standard 35m length, making it practical for coordinated upholstery requirements.

How to use it

Use Melange Natural on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its charcoal depth can anchor a room, then draw out the warmer oat and muted copper threads with timber, tan leather or brushed brass.

Use this dense charcoal and warm-neutral weave on statement seating, balanced with timber, leather or soft beige upholstery.

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