About this fabric

This is a dense-looking woven textile in a cool taupe-grey shade, rather than a warm sandy beige. Fine horizontal weft lines are visible throughout, while small pale and darker flecks interrupt the even ground. The restrained contrast keeps the texture subtle at a distance but gives the cloth character in close view. No composition, width or performance specification is supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Lochore Heron on an armchair, footstool or relaxed sofa where its cool taupe-grey tone can sit comfortably with stone, chalk and weathered timber. Its flecked surface also works well alongside plain linens and softly aged finishes.

The softly flecked taupe-grey weave brings understated texture to upholstered seating and occasional furniture.

Pairs well with

Lochore Heron 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.
