About this fabric

The closely woven surface has a lightly tactile, low-sheen appearance rather than a pronounced motif, allowing the sandy beige colour to remain the focus. Composed of 48% viscose, 34% cotton and 18% polyester, it is 137 cm wide and suitable for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. The fabric has a 40,000 Martindale rub test, making it a practical choice where a calm, hard-wearing neutral is required. Care is professional dry cleaning only; do not wash, bleach or iron.

How to use it

Use Matrix Sand to soften structured upholstery in rooms with timber, stone or warm painted walls, or make full-length curtains and bedspreads from its understated sandy tone. Its subtle woven variation adds texture without introducing a strong pattern.

A warm, softly textured neutral for relaxed upholstery, curtains and bedspreads.

Matrix 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.
