About this fabric

The large paisley forms are layered with small curling motifs and irregular charcoal tracery, giving the design an aged, softly graphic character. Its cool grey-taupe ground is enlivened by restrained olive and warm sandy-gold threads rather than bright contrast. The close view shows a dense, nubby weave that catches the light unevenly across the pattern. No composition, width, usage or rub-test specification has been supplied for this fabric, so those performance details should be confirmed before ordering.

How to use it

Use this cool opal-taupe colourway on a reading chair, upholstered bench or compact sofa, pairing it with charcoal, weathered wood and warm stone shades to draw out its subtle golden flecks.

The dense, nubby weave and softly intricate paisley suit upholstered occasional chairs, footstools and statement seating.

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.
