About this fabric

This colourway shows a pale sand-beige ground with a slightly heathered, woven texture that softens the overall effect. The blend of 40% linen, 30% viscose, 20% wool and 10% polyester gives it a natural, lightly nubby character with a refined hand. With an approximate width of 143cm and no repeat in either direction, it is an easy plain to pattern-match for larger schemes. The tone is warm rather than chalky, making it feel inviting and understated rather than stark. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √CH are noted for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use it on upholstery where you want a low-contrast neutral that still has surface interest, or as drapery when you want the room to feel softened and sunlit. It sits particularly well with oak, putty, parchment and muted olive accents.

A quietly textured neutral that layers easily with oak, linen and softer stone shades.

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.
