About this fabric

This Sands Crane colourway sits between warm beige and soft grey, creating a muted sandy greige rather than a clear cream. The surface is formed by a close woven structure with tiny irregular slubs and fine tonal flecks breaking up the light ground. Subtle vertical lines run through the cloth, giving it a lightly striated appearance and a little more definition than a flat plain. The overall effect is quiet, natural and softly dimensional.

How to use it

Pair this pale sandy greige with chalky whites, warm oak and soft stone shades for a relaxed, natural scheme. Its restrained tone works equally well as an upholstered neutral or as understated curtains where the woven texture can be seen up close.

Use this softly striated sandy greige to bring natural warmth and quiet texture to upholstery or curtains.

Pairs well with

Moray Sands Crane 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.
