Name: Sense Saddle

Sense Saddle presents a deep saddle-brown tone with a softly brushed, suede-like surface. Its close, even texture gives the colour a gentle depth rather than a flat, hard-edged appearance.

About this fabric

The swatch is a plain, dense-looking upholstery cloth in a warm saddle brown, sitting between russet and medium brown. Fine directional variation across the surface catches the light subtly, creating a low-key nap-like effect without a visible motif or pattern. Its substantial visual weight makes it best suited to upholstered seating, headboards and occasional chairs. No composition, width, rub test or performance feature has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this warm saddle shade to bring depth to a neutral scheme, particularly on a reading chair, banquette or sofa where its softly textured surface can contrast with pale plaster, cream linen and dark timber.

A warm, richly toned upholstery cloth with a softly brushed surface for grounding seating and occasional furniture.

Pairs well with

Sense Saddle 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.
