Astell Oatmeal

Essential Colour III - Neutral FabricBF11177.230

Astell Oatmeal is a soft, warm beige textile with a restrained, finely woven surface. In the close-up, its pale oatmeal tone is gently varied by a delicate crosshatched weave rather than a printed motif.

About this fabric

The close-up reveals a calm oatmeal shade with a subtle natural warmth, while the fine weave gives the surface a lightly tactile, almost linen-like character. Composed of 47% viscose, 33% cotton and 20% linen, it is 140 cm (55") wide and suitable for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. Its 45,000 Martindale rub test supports use on regularly used seating, while the discreet 2 cm vertical and 2.5 cm horizontal repeats keep the woven effect visually quiet. A professional dry clean is required; do not wash, bleach or iron.

How to use it

Use this warm oatmeal neutral to soften a dark timber room, or pair it with chalky whites, natural linens and muted terracotta accents. Its fine texture can bring gentle depth to a plain sofa, upholstered headboard or full-length curtain without introducing a strong pattern.

A warm, quietly textured neutral suited to tailored upholstery, curtains and relaxed bedspreads.

Pairs well with

Astell Oatmeal 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.
