About this fabric

Shown here as a subtle plain weave, Thabor Basilic has a dry, woven hand and a lightly slubbed surface that catches the light without becoming shiny. The 146cm approx width and repeat of V 0cm / H 0cm approx make it straightforward to cut and use across large or small projects. Its blend of 53% cotton, 21% acrylic, 12% wool, 11% viscose and 3% polyester helps explain the balance of natural texture with a neat, composed finish. The basil tone is muted rather than bright, reading as an earthy green with a greyed undertone that keeps it versatile.

How to use it

Use it on an upholstered armchair, banquette or relaxed sofa where the soft green can sit against oak, linen and painted joinery. It also works well with chalky neutrals and deeper botanical shades for a layered, understated scheme.

A soft basil tone that works well as a calm, tailored neutral in layered interiors.

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.
