About this fabric

Catalogued as a Carpet, Sedge has a substantial-looking, tightly textured surface suited to upholstery classification. Its muted olive-brown base is layered with taupe and lighter natural flecks, giving the colourway quiet depth instead of a flat block of colour. Fine horizontal and vertical shifts in the weave create a softly irregular, nubby appearance that changes gently as the light catches it. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Sedge to add an earthy olive-taupe anchor to an upholstered chair, sofa or headboard, pairing its subdued depth with warm timber, aged leather and understated neutrals. Its close, tactile texture works especially well where a calm, grounded surface is preferred over a decorative pattern.

A substantial, tactile olive-taupe surface that brings grounded depth to upholstered pieces.

Pairs well with

Sedge 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.
