About this fabric

This colourway reads as a muted hessian beige, with a warm taupe undertone and a softly mottled surface that catches the light without looking glossy. Made from 100% polyester, it is a practical general domestic fabric with a 25,000 Martindale rub test, making it well suited to everyday upholstery use. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with other treatments available on request. The plain design style and subtle texture make it an easy coordinating base across a room.

How to use it

Use Palermo Hessian on sofas, banquettes or headboards where a warm neutral backdrop is needed. Its earthy beige tone pairs especially well with natural timber, stone, olive, and off-white accents.

A practical neutral with a softly textured, easygoing finish.

Pairs well with

Palermo Hessian 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.
