About this fabric

The colour sits between russet brown and softened taupe, with the small-scale weave giving the surface gentle tonal variation rather than a flat finish. Narrow chevron rows run vertically across the image, producing a neat, directional pattern with understated visual movement. The dense woven appearance makes this colourway well suited to structured upholstery where texture can be appreciated at close range. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Pair this warm russet-brown with natural timber, tobacco leather and softened cream upholstery for a collected, quietly traditional room. Its fine herringbone also works well on a tailored armchair or simple bench where the directional weave remains visible.

Use this warm, restrained russet herringbone to bring tailored texture and depth to upholstered 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.
