Melo Natural is a quiet, softly textured neutral with a gentle cream tone and a subtle woven surface. The colour reads warm and airy rather than stark, giving it an easy, relaxed feel.

About this fabric

Woven in a plain cloth with no visible repeat, Melo Natural has the understated character of a versatile furnishing fabric. The blend of 43% viscose, 42% cotton, 9% linen and 6% polyester gives the surface a lightly textural, natural handle with a softly matt finish. At approximately 141cm wide, it is a practical choice for a range of interior projects, and the Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code add useful specification details for residential use. Its pale cream colouring sits somewhere between biscuit and ivory, so it reflects light gently without looking cold.

How to use it

Use this shade where you want a room to feel brighter and more open, especially on loose covers, simple upholstery or relaxed curtains. It pairs neatly with pale timber, stone, warm whites and muted earthy accents.

A calm, versatile neutral that works beautifully across both upholstery and curtains.

Pairs well with

Melo Natural 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.
