Feel Ochre

Feel Ochre brings a warm, earthy golden tone to the 4d Upholstery collection. Its surface is animated by uneven cream lines that run vertically across the cloth, giving the colourway a softly handcrafted character.

About this fabric

The ochre ground has a rich, sun-warmed depth, while the narrow cream stripes create a broken linear rhythm rather than a rigid geometric effect. Close up, the woven surface appears tactile and gently nubby, with subtle variation that keeps the stripes from looking flat. As a fabric from Kirkby Design’s 4d Upholstery collection, Feel Ochre is particularly suited to bringing texture and warm colour to upholstered furniture. The vertical direction can also visually elongate chair backs, headboards or occasional panels.

How to use it

Use Feel Ochre on an armchair, sofa or dining seat where its golden warmth can sit alongside natural timber, cream boucle and softly contrasting stone neutrals. The irregular cream striping makes it especially effective as a relaxed focal upholstery rather than a barely-there plain.

A warm, tactile ochre with irregular cream striping for relaxed upholstery and statement seating.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Feel Ochre without fighting it. 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.
