About this fabric

Kelsea Natural from Colefax and Fowler is woven in a subtle herringbone-style zigzag that reads as refined texture rather than bold pattern. The natural beige ground is lifted by slightly lighter threads, giving the cloth a gentle, dry-linen look with just enough tonal variation to keep it interesting. Its 147cm approximate width and blend of 51% Linen, 32% Viscose, 9% Cotton and 8% Polyester make it a versatile decorative fabric with a softly structured handle. The repeat is V 0cm / H 3cm approx, so the design runs with a neat, regular rhythm that suits both upholstery and drapery applications. Care code Q 8 < T 3 and fire code √CH are supplied for this exact quality.

How to use it

Use this oatmeal beige colourway to soften darker woods, pale plaster walls or painted joinery without adding visual weight. Its small-scale zigzag pattern gives benches, cushions and curtains a composed, bespoke feel.

A restrained herringbone-like zigzag that works neatly on tailored upholstery or elegant curtains.

Pairs well with

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