About this fabric

Woven in 100% Virgin Wool, Dandy Wood has a plain, close texture that gives the surface a calm, tailored look. The colour is a warm chestnut brown with subtle red-brown depth, so it feels richer than a flat tan but less dark than chocolate. With no repeat and a width of 139cm approx, it is easy to pattern match for upholstered pieces and simple furnishing shapes. The cloth has the reassuring body expected of a wool upholstery fabric, while the finish keeps the overall appearance understated and refined.

How to use it

Use this shade on classic sofas, lounge chairs or ottomans where a warm brown anchor is needed. It pairs well with oak, camel, tobacco leather and muted cream for a layered, autumnal scheme.

A rich chestnut wool that brings warmth and depth to tailored seating.

Pairs well with

Dandy Wood 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.
