Tuffley Sand

Tuffley Sand has a warm, pale sandy tone with a fine, almost powdery texture visible across the swatch. Its quiet tonal variation gives the surface more depth than a completely flat plain.

About this fabric

This 100% cotton fabric reads as a softly muted beige, with delicate grain and barely perceptible tonal movement rather than a strongly defined motif. The 12cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats keep the design understated at scale, allowing the sand colour to remain the main impression. At 137cm wide, it is specified for curtains, loose upholstery, fixed upholstery and bedspreads. Professional dry cleaning is required; it must not be washed, bleached or ironed.

How to use it

Use Tuffley Sand to bring a warm, light neutral note to a relaxed sitting room, upholstered headboard or full-length curtain. Pair its gentle sandy depth with chalky whites, natural timber and softly aged brass rather than stark, cool contrasts.

A softly understated sand cotton suited to relaxed upholstery, curtains, bedspreads and calm neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Tuffley 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.
