About this fabric
This Cormar Malabar Two Fold colourway is classified as Wool Loop and catalogued as Carpet. The dense, nubby loops run in narrow, irregular vertical tracks, creating a small-scale texture rather than a printed motif. Reed reads as a gentle oat beige, with restrained taupe and brown flecks adding depth without disrupting its calm overall tone. The compact surface and substantial appearance make it particularly suited to upholstery-led schemes where a relaxed, natural texture is wanted.
How to use it
Use Reed to soften a neutral room with upholstered seating, ottomans or headboards, pairing its warm oat-beige tone with chalky whites, timber and muted taupe accents. Its subtle flecking also sits comfortably beside simple woven textiles and natural finishes.
The warm oat-beige tone and compact loop texture bring a quietly natural, understated feel to upholstered pieces.

Pairs well with
Reed 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.
