About this fabric

This Savanna Iron colourway is woven in 100% cotton and comes with a 140cm width and no pattern repeat, making the small-scale texture the main visual detail. The close weave gives the surface a lightly peppered, matte appearance, with the iron-toned taupe shifting gently between warm brown and cooler grey depending on the light. It feels understated rather than flat, so the fabric has enough visual interest to stand alone without a print. Care code AQV1< should be checked before specifying for a project.

How to use it

Use this shade on upholstered occasional chairs, banquettes or cushions where its muted depth can soften clean-lined furniture. It also suits relaxed curtains or Roman blinds in neutral rooms, especially alongside oak, linen and darker metal finishes.

A grounded neutral that works well across soft seating and simple curtains.

Pairs well with

Savanna Iron 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.
