Feel Clove

Name: Feel Clove
Brand: Kirkby Design

Feel Clove is a richly warm brown textile with closely spaced, irregular vertical ribs running across the surface. Its softly varied weave gives the shade a tactile, earthy depth rather than a flat block of colour.

About this fabric

The dense-looking woven texture and narrow linear ridges read as well suited to upholstery, with the vertical pattern adding subtle direction without becoming bold or graphic. The clove tone sits between caramel, cinnamon and medium brown, while darker slubs within the ribs create gentle movement across the swatch. The supplied listing catalogues this as a fabric from Kirkby Design’s 4d Upholstery collection, with no performance features noted.

How to use it

Pair this warm clove-brown colourway with oat, parchment and soft tan textiles for a grounded scheme, or use it to add warmth to a room of deep olive, charcoal and aged timber. The fine vertical rib works particularly well on tailored chair backs, benches and compact sofas.

Use this warm clove-brown ribbed weave on relaxed seating, occasional chairs or upholstered headboards.

Feel Clove 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.
