Hadleigh FR Thistle

Katrine FR Fabric

Hadleigh FR Thistle is a richly muted brown cloth with a quietly heathered surface and a dry, woven feel. The colour sits between earthy taupe and cocoa, giving the fabric an understated depth rather than a flat solid look.

About this fabric

This Hadleigh FR colourway has a fine, tactile weave that reads slightly rustic and softly mottled in the light. The tonal mix of brown, umber and dusky thistle notes gives it a warm, grounded appearance that feels more nuanced than a single-tone neutral. It is specified as 100% polyester and comes 140cm wide, with a 0cm pattern repeat for straightforward matching and cutting. The NQT1< care instruction keeps the finish practical, while the overall surface lends itself to a calm, textural look on furniture or window treatments.

How to use it

Use this thistle-brown shade to anchor neutral upholstery schemes, especially alongside putty, olive or aged wood finishes. It also works well as a textural counterpoint to cream linens and brushed metal details.

A grounded brown with a soft heathered look that works well in warm, lived-in interiors.

Pairs well with

Hadleigh FR Thistle 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.
