About this fabric

Carnforth Beige from the Tarn collection by Colefax and Fowler is a fabric with a subtle vertical slub that gives the surface gentle movement. The colour sits in a warm beige range, softened by creamy and linen-like undertones, so it feels calm rather than stark. Its composition of 41% viscose, 40% linen, 11% cotton, 5% acrylic and 3% polyester helps explain the mix of softness and crisp texture visible in the weave. With a width of approximately 139cm and a repeat of V 0cm / H 0cm approx, it is a straightforward fabric for patterned-free schemes where texture carries the interest. The Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code are supplied for this exact cloth.

How to use it

Use this beige in rooms where you want a light, grounded backdrop: it suits relaxed upholstery, neat curtains and slipcovers with natural wood or painted finishes. The warm, pale tone works especially well alongside oatmeal, driftwood, brass and muted sage.

A softly textured neutral that works beautifully on tailored upholstery or simple curtains.

Pairs well with

Carnforth Beige 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.
