Fortuna FabricFORT112

FORT112 pairs a pale taupe-beige ground with broad, softly irregular leafy silhouettes in a deeper taupe-grey tone. The chenille surface gives the botanical pattern a gently nubby, tactile finish rather than a flat printed appearance.

About this fabric

This 100% polyester chenille has a calm, earthy colour balance, with the low-contrast taupe foliage appearing softly diffused across the lighter ground. Its 138cm width makes it practical for domestic upholstery, while the visible textured weave adds depth to the large-scale botanical motif. FORT112 is graded for domestic upholstery and is machine washable for aftercare. It is supplied with Domestic Cig & Match flame retardancy and can be treated to Crib 5 contract grade.

How to use it

Use FORT112 on a relaxed armchair, headboard or occasional sofa where its muted taupe-beige base can sit comfortably with oatmeal, stone and warm timber tones. Keep surrounding fabrics quiet so the oversized leafy shapes remain the main visual texture.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside FORT112 without fighting it. 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.
