Babylon Sand
Misc Fabric
Babylon Sand reads as a warm, earthy damask with a softly textured surface and a subtle metallic lift from the lurex content. The pattern sits in a sand-brown palette that feels grounded rather than stark, with the motif showing clearly across the cloth.

About this fabric
This Porter & Stone fabric is 140cm wide and made from 95% polyester and 5% lurex, with a 24cm pattern repeat and NQT1 care instructions. In this colourway, the design appears as an overlapping damask with a mottled, pebble-like texture that gives the surface depth. The sand base is warmed by brown patterning, while the fine lurex threads add just a restrained, low-sheen glimmer rather than a bright shine. Its mid-weight look and woven structure make it suitable for both upholstery and drapery where a richer, tailored finish is wanted.
How to use it
Pair Babylon Sand with walnut woods, aged brass and plain linen to bring out its warm, biscuit-brown tones. It works well in schemes that need pattern without strong contrast, especially on upholstered chairs, cushions or relaxed curtains.
Use with velvet or plain linen for a grounded, tailored scheme.

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