Paolo Sand is a softly textured plain in a warm sandy beige, with a close weave that gives the surface a grounded, tactile feel. The colour sits between taupe and light brown, reading calm and practical rather than bright.

About this fabric

This colourway shows a closely woven, pebble-like texture with a matte finish and gentle tonal variation across the surface. The warm beige-sand shade has a muted depth that softens the look of the plain weave and gives it a relaxed, upholstered feel. Made from 52% polyester and 48% cotton, and rated for heavy domestic use with a 40,000 Martindale rub test, it is a dependable choice for everyday furniture. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and after care is professional dry clean in situ, with the pattern book to be consulted for further instructions.

How to use it

Its earthy beige tone is easy to layer with oak, linen whites and deeper brown accents, especially on larger upholstery pieces. Use it where you want a neutral that feels warmer and more textured than a flat stone shade.

A quietly textured neutral that works well on sofas, dining chairs and layered soft furnishings.

Pairs well with

Paolo Sand 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.
