Modena Fabric14398

Modena Ecru is a softly mottled plain in a warm, natural beige that reads calm and understated in the swatch. Its surface has a lightly textural, almost brushed look that gives the colour gentle depth rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric

This colourway shows a warm ecru-beige ground with subtle tonal flecking, so it feels lived-in and forgiving rather than stark. The visible weave has a fine, contract-ready handle that suits upholstery, and the supplied specification confirms a hard-wearing 100% polyester construction with an 80,000 Martindale rub test. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with other treatments available on request, making it a practical choice for commercial seating. Professional dry clean in situ or washable at 40°C, this is a plain that balances everyday usefulness with a soft, natural-looking finish.

How to use it

Use Modena Ecru on banquettes, armchairs or headboards where you want a lighter neutral that still feels grounded. Its warm beige tone works especially well with oak, taupe and muted greens, and helps brighten darker interiors without going cold.

A soft, versatile ecru that brings warmth without overpowering the room.

Pairs well with

Modena Ecru 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.
