Hamada Denim/Ochre

The house has discontinued this one. We are keeping the page so the link still works, but we can no longer order it. There are alternatives below, and if you have a cutting or a photograph we will help you match it.

Hamada Denim/Ochre combines cool, muted denim blue with softly glowing ochre and pale cream in a softly blurred woven check. Fine intersecting yarns give the swatch a richly worked, tactile surface.

About this fabric

The check is built from deep denim-blue blocks softened by ochre, parchment and creamy highlights, creating a gently weathered impression rather than a sharp geometric contrast. Vertical and horizontal threads remain visible across the surface, adding a fine gridded texture and subtle shifts where the light catches the weave. At 500gsm, with 52 threads per cm, this is a substantial textile with the visual depth suited to upholstery. It has a 35cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat and a usable width of 140cm.

How to use it

Use the cool denim base on a reading chair, sofa or headboard, then draw out the warmer ochre notes with aged timber, tan leather or brass accents. Pale walls and unpatterned cream textiles will keep the softly layered check feeling spacious.

Use this substantial denim-and-ochre check on upholstery, paired with warm natural woods and quiet neutral plains.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Hamada Denim/Ochre without fighting it. 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.
