About this fabric

The colour sits at the deepest end of brown, with a near-black cast that gives the swatch a grounded, intimate mood. A fine, regular weave is visible across the surface, creating tiny diagonal marks and restrained tonal variation in the light. The substantial-looking woven texture makes it well suited to upholstery applications. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Apache Brown on a tailored chair, sofa or ottoman where its near-black chocolate tone can anchor softer neutrals, warm timber and aged metal. Its quiet fine weave works especially well when a dark covering is wanted without a glossy or patterned finish.

Use this near-black chocolate brown weave to bring depth and quiet texture to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Apache Brown 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.
