About this fabric

The surface reads as a dense melton with fine, irregular flecking and a matte finish that gently absorbs the light. Its espresso-brown colour is earthy and warm, with darker and lighter fibres creating a softly mottled appearance across the cloth. The fabric is catalogued as a textile, but no composition, width, rub test or performance features have been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this rich espresso brown on a statement armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard, where its low-sheen texture can anchor lighter woods, warm neutrals and softly aged metals. Its depth also makes it effective as a grounding accent against cream or pale stone upholstery.

A deep, softly textured brown for upholstered seating, headboards and occasional chairs with a grounded, tailored feel.

Pairs well with

Montrose Melton Espresso 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.
