About this fabric

This colourway reads as a muted mustard yellow, with a gentle golden warmth rather than a bright citrus tone. The close weave gives the plain a subtle nubby texture that catches the light softly across the surface. Made from 52% polyester and 48% cotton, it offers a balanced handle for everyday schemes, and its 40,000 Martindale rating and Heavy Domestic usage make it well suited to seating. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with professional dry clean in situ recommended for care.

How to use it

Use this shade on an accent chair, banquette or ottoman where its soft golden tone can lift timber, leather and olive or clay accents. It also works well in rooms that need a warmer alternative to beige without becoming too bright.

A warm, practical mustard that brings gentle colour without feeling loud.

Pairs well with

Paolo Mustard 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.
