About this fabric

This fabric is composed of 95% polyester and 5% cotton, with a 137cm width and a 67cm pattern repeat. The design shows dense woodland leaves, grasses and flowers in a warm taupe-brown ground, lifted by ochre accents and pale ivory detail. The contrast is soft rather than sharp, so the motif feels textural and atmospheric rather than bright. Its mid-weight textile look makes it well suited to upholstery, especially where you want pattern and warmth without a heavy velvet finish.

How to use it

Pair this ochre-and-taupe colourway with aged brass, smoked wood and linen neutrals for a grounded scheme. It works well on an accent chair, headboard or bench where the warm floral pattern can add depth without overwhelming the room.

Use on statement seating or cushions to bring warmth to a pared-back scheme.

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