About this fabric

The 519 gsm weight gives Islay Almond a substantial presence for upholstery, while the 138 cm usable width supports practical cutting on furniture projects. Up close, the surface reads as a fine field of tiny nubs and tightly woven tonal variation rather than a flat plain. Its warm beige tone is softened with understated depth, allowing the texture to catch the light without appearing glossy. With a 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat, the cloth has a straightforward, non-directional layout.

How to use it

Use Islay Almond to upholster a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its warm almond tone can soften darker timber and add quiet texture to a neutral scheme. Pair it with cream, putty and natural wood for a calm, tactile interior.

The substantial 519 gsm weave and softly nubby surface make this warm almond shade especially suited to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Islay Almond 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.
