About this fabric

This plain woven Harlequin fabric has a quiet fossil tone that sits between soft beige and gentle grey, rather than reading as a strong cream or cool silver. The close, fine weave is visible across the swatch as a delicate linear texture, with subtle tonal variation where the light catches the threads. At 387 gsm, it has a substantial handle suited to both upholstery and drapery applications. Its 143 cm usable width and 27.6 threads per cm provide useful practical detail for planning a made-to-measure project.

How to use it

Use Allegra Fossil to soften darker timber, stone and painted furniture, or pair it with warm whites and muted taupes for a quietly layered room. Its pale greige tone also works as a restrained curtain or blind fabric where a softly textured neutral is preferred.

Its pale warm greige tone and fine woven texture bring quiet refinement to upholstery, curtains and blinds.

Pairs well with

Allegra Fossil 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.
