Alchemy Bronze

Alchemy Fabric

Alchemy Bronze shows a lustrous bronze-copper surface with soft directional movement and a subtle crushed texture. The finish catches the light in darker folds, giving the colourway depth and warmth.

About this fabric

This colourway has a warm bronze tone with coppery highlights and deeper brown shadows where the cloth folds. The visible surface reads as smooth but lightly textured, with a sheen that brings out the drape of the fabric. It is a textile, not a wallpaper, and the supplied specification confirms a 140cm width, 56% cotton and 44% polyester composition, and a 0cm pattern repeat. That combination makes it a versatile decorative fabric for schemes that need a metallic note without a hard shine.

How to use it

Pair Alchemy Bronze with walnut, saddle leather and softened ivory to keep the look grounded. Its glowing brown-orange cast works especially well in rooms that need warmth and a smart, tailored finish.

Use with dark woods and muted neutrals for a rich, polished finish.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Alchemy Bronze 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.
