About this fabric

This Fryett's Fabrics design is supplied as a 140cm-wide textile in 50% Polyester and 50% Viscose, with a 53cm pattern repeat and care code 1<NQT. The cloth shows a dark, near-black ground with a subtle nap-like sheen, while the giraffe figures appear in a mottled gold-beige that lifts clearly from the background. The effect is dramatic rather than bright, with enough tonal variation in the motif to keep the pattern from feeling flat. Its mid-weight look and the visible softness of the surface make it suitable for both upholstery and drapery applications.

How to use it

The black-and-gold palette works well in rooms that need contrast, especially on a generous chair, ottoman or sweeping curtains. Pair it with smoked wood, brass or matte black accents to let the animal motif stand out.

Use for statement upholstery or dramatic drapery with a tailored, high-contrast finish.

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