About this fabric

Woven in a practical 140cm width, Shimla Natural combines 82% polyester, 11% cotton and 7% linen with a textured look that feels tailored but easygoing. The pattern repeat is 15.5cm vertical by 19.5cm horizontal, creating an even trailing leaf motif that reads clearly without feeling busy. In this colourway, the palette is light and low-contrast: pale stone, soft taupe and ivory leaves sit over a muted beige ground, so the overall effect is calm rather than stark. With no performance features noted and care code NQT1<, it is a versatile decorative cloth for rooms that want understated pattern and a natural finish.

How to use it

Use Shimla Natural on Roman blinds, cushions or a pair of relaxed occasional chairs where the soft beige ground can lift the room without dominating it. It works especially well with oak, linen upholstery and brushed brass for a warm, quietly refined scheme.

Pairs easily with natural woods and chalky neutrals for a calm, layered scheme.

Pairs well with

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