Babylon FR Sand
Shimmer FR Fabric
Babylon FR Sand is a warm sand-brown fabric with a finely textured, shimmery surface that gives the pattern real depth. The woven design reads as layered and tactile, with the metallic lurex adding a subtle lift as it catches the light.

About this fabric
Woven in 95% polyester and 5% lurex, Babylon FR Sand has a resilient feel with a soft metallic glimmer worked through the cloth. The 140cm width and 24cm vertical repeat make it suitable for larger runs where the rhythmic pattern can show clearly across a scheme. Visually, the colourway sits in a toasted sand and brown range, with lighter flecks breaking up the ground and keeping the overall effect warm rather than heavy. The surface looks dry and textured, which helps the pattern read crisply and gives it a slightly tailored finish.
How to use it
Use this sand-brown colourway on upholstery or relaxed drapery where you want warmth and pattern without a strong colour statement. It works especially well with oak, smoked timber and natural linens, and the subtle shimmer lifts it in softer evening light.
A warm, tonal pattern that adds depth without overpowering softer furnishings.

Pairs well with
Babylon FR Sand 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.
