About this fabric
This colourway in the Brodsworth collection has a muted earth-olive base with fine horizontal texturing that softens the surface and keeps the look calm rather than busy. Made from 100% polyester, it offers a practical cloth with a neat handle, and the 140cm width makes it straightforward for larger drops or tailored furnishings. The 0cm pattern repeat means the weave effect reads as an all-over texture rather than a directional motif. Its warm, subdued depth gives it a natural, lived-in feel that works well where you want colour without sharp contrast.
How to use it
Use it alongside timber, aged brass and oatmeal tones to build a layered, organic scheme. Its restrained olive shade also works well on upholstered pieces that need texture but not pattern.
A quietly earthy neutral that brings warmth and texture without overpowering a scheme.

Pairs well with
Kensington Earth 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.
