About this fabric

Woven in 100% Recycled Polyester, Soulful Matchstick is specified for Heavy Domestic use and carries a Martindale rating of 40,000, making it a practical choice for busy interiors. The swatch shows a muted matchstick beige with faintly warmer, oat-like undertones, broken by fine horizontal flecks that add movement without creating a pattern. Its surface has a nubby, lightly striated handle that keeps the colourway from reading flat, while the overall effect remains calm and natural. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, with other treatments available on request, and after care is Professional Dry Clean in situ.

How to use it

This neutral beige works well on sofas, banquettes and ottomans where you want texture without strong contrast. Pair it with pale woods, stone and deeper olive or tobacco accents to bring out its warm, earthy cast.

A warm neutral with subtle texture for easy pairing across upholstery schemes.

Pairs well with

Soulful Matchstick 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.
