Maize

Name: Maize
Brand: Cormar

Maize is a warm golden-tan shade with a quietly varied, tactile surface. The close-up reveals a dense field of softly nubby twist, giving the colour gentle depth rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric

This Hampstead colourway reads as muted maize gold, sitting between sandy beige and light ochre with a distinctly warm undertone. Its tightly packed surface is made up of small, rounded twists that catch the light unevenly, creating subtle tonal movement across the swatch. Catalogued as a Wool Twist, Maize has a visibly substantial, close-textured character rather than the fluid appearance of a fine cloth. The restrained colour and even texture give it a relaxed, grounded presence.

How to use it

Pair Maize with chalky whites, natural timber and softened olive or rust accents to bring out its warm golden cast. Its dense, tactile surface works especially well where a room needs an earthy, quietly textured foundation.

Use this warm maize-gold texture to add an earthy, softly tactile foundation to a room.

Maize 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.
