About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton and measuring 140cm wide, Beachcomber Natural has a useful mid-scale stripe with no pattern repeat, making placement straightforward. The palette combines warm sand, biscuit beige, cream and light taupe in vertical bands that feel gently varied rather than high contrast. Its surface reads as crisp and breathable rather than heavy, which helps the stripes keep their clean lines. The overall effect is quiet and versatile, with enough texture in the colour changes to add interest to plain upholstery or relaxed soft furnishings.

How to use it

Use this natural stripe on a casual armchair, bench cushion or loose cover where the warm beige tones can sit alongside oak, rattan and chalky whites. It also works well for curtains in a light-filled room, where the vertical stripes will emphasise height without overpowering the scheme.

A soft neutral stripe that layers easily with timber, linen and pale paintwork.

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