Sylph Tan presents a softly weathered tan surface, where a fine, irregular weave gives the colour a gently tonal, khaki cast. The close-up shows no recurring motif, only subtle horizontal and vertical threads catching the light.

About this fabric

Sylph Tan is a fine, lightly slubbed textile in a muted tan-khaki shade, with delicate horizontal and vertical variation visible across the surface. At 93 gsm and 137 cm usable width, it reads as a light cloth suited to drapery rather than hard-wearing upholstery. The fabric has a 0 cm vertical and 0 cm horizontal pattern repeat, so the quiet surface remains continuous when panels are cut. Each standard length is 40 m.

How to use it

Use this muted tan-khaki colourway for relaxed curtains or blinds where its softly weathered tone can bring warmth without dominating the room. Its restrained surface pairs naturally with pale neutrals, weathered timber and other understated textures.

A softly textured tan-khaki cloth for understated curtains and blinds.

Pairs well with

Sylph Tan 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.
