Marldon Sand

Albeck FabricF3701-02

Marldon Sand is a softly textured plain in a warm sand beige with a calm, even surface and a subtle natural slub. The colour reads like a light, sun-warmed neutral rather than a flat beige, giving it a gentle depth in the weave.

About this fabric

Woven in a blend of 57% viscose, 21% cotton, 12% linen and 10% polyester, Marldon Sand has the crisp, dry character of a linen-mix with a smoother finish and a soft tactile grain. The repeat is straight-through at V 0cm / H 0cm approx, so the focus stays on the texture and colour rather than any motif. At approximately 145cm wide, it is a practical width for tailored upholstery or soft furnishings. The shade itself is a muted, warm beige with a slightly golden sandy cast, which catches the light with a gentle matte glow.

How to use it

Use Marldon Sand on sofas, armchairs or loose covers where you want a warm neutral that feels settled and classic. It also makes a good curtain or blind fabric in rooms that need a light, earthy backdrop without looking stark.

A quietly refined neutral that works beautifully across upholstery and curtains.

Pairs well with

Marldon Sand 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.
