Hartley Natural

Animal Kingdom Fabric

Hartley Natural shows a softly grounded beige ground scattered with delicate hare motifs and tiny sprigs. The overall effect is calm and earthy, with the animals adding just enough interest against the quiet base.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton and measuring 140cm wide, Hartley Natural has a practical everyday handle with a crisp, breathable feel. The 32cm pattern repeat gives the little hare figures a measured, easy rhythm across the cloth. Its background reads as a warm natural beige with a dry, matte look, while the rabbits are picked out in mottled brown, grey and black for subtle depth. Small flecks and the scattered tuft detail keep the design feeling airy rather than busy, making this a gentle statement fabric.

How to use it

Use Hartley Natural on occasional chairs, bench seats or relaxed curtains where the soft beige ground can brighten a room without feeling stark. It sits especially well with oak, taupe paintwork and woven textures for a calm country-inspired scheme.

Pair with limed woods and simple plains to let the spotted hare motif stand out.

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