Matrix Parchment

Matrix Parchment is a warm, parchment-toned textile with a fine, softly mottled weave. The close-up surface shows subtle tonal variation rather than a distinct printed motif, giving the beige colour quiet depth.

About this fabric

The colour reads as a gentle warm beige, with tiny tonal flecks that soften the otherwise even ground and prevent it from appearing flat. Its understated woven texture catches the light lightly, retaining a calm, natural appearance across the swatch. Composed of 48% viscose, 34% cotton and 18% polyester, it is 137 cm wide and suitable for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. A 40,000 Martindale rub test supports its use on upholstered furniture; it must be professionally dry cleaned and should not be washed, bleached or ironed.

How to use it

Use Matrix Parchment to bring a warm, light-neutral layer to an upholstered chair, sofa or bedspread, or let its fine beige texture soften full-length curtains. It pairs naturally with deeper taupes, weathered timber and muted earthy accents without introducing a strong pattern.

A softly flecked parchment beige with an understated woven texture, suitable for curtains, upholstery and bedspreads; dry clean professionally only.

Pairs well with

Matrix Parchment 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.
