Huxley Nutmeg is a softly warmed, clay-toned plain with a gentle matte look and a fine woven surface. The colour sits between muted terracotta and toasted beige, giving it an easy, earthy warmth.

About this fabric

This Huxley colourway shows a dry, tightly woven texture with a subtle crosshatch that softens the surface rather than adding strong pattern. The Nutmeg shade reads as a dusty clay brown with pinkish warmth, so it feels richer than a simple beige but quieter than a true rust. Made in 51% cotton and 49% polyester, it has a balanced handle that suits a broad range of interior schemes, while the 138cm approximate width and zero repeat make it straightforward to pattern match and cut. With no performance features noted and a fire code of K, it is a practical decorative fabric for everyday interiors.

How to use it

Use it on an armchair or banquette to bring a mellow, sunbaked note into the room. It pairs especially well with chalky whites, warm woods, and muted green accents for a grounded scheme.

A warm, versatile neutral that brings easy depth to upholstery or curtains.

Pairs well with

Huxley Nutmeg 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.
