TARAXA Cotton Linen - Noir

fabric Fabric1-FA-TXA-CL-NOI-XXX-XXX

Noir sets the TARAXA repeat against a deep charcoal ground, bringing out pale sage foliage and cream, thistle-like flower heads. The tightly arranged arabesque leaves give this colourway a richly layered, tapestry-like presence.

About this fabric

The design combines curling sage and olive leaves with cream rosette-like flower heads, arranged in a dense, symmetrical botanical repeat. Against the charcoal background, the pale foliage feels softly muted rather than bright, while the cream blooms create clear points of contrast across the surface. Darker green scrollwork adds depth around the leaf forms and gives the pattern a considered, formal character. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this exact fabric, so suitability should be checked against the intended level of use.

How to use it

Use Noir where the deep charcoal ground can anchor a room, such as a statement armchair, banquette or generous curtain. Pair it with chalky cream, sage paint, dark wood and brushed metal to echo the colour relationships visible in the pattern.

Use Noir to bring dramatic contrast to upholstered seating or full-length curtains, balancing it with warm neutrals and natural timber.

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.
