About this fabric

The visible design is made up of large vertical and sweeping abstract shapes, with deeper taupe-brown panels alongside creamy beige and muted ochre sections. The fine, fluid-looking cloth gathers into soft folds, allowing the tonal shifts and gentle surface translucency to remain visible. This colourway feels warm and earthy rather than bright, with the ochre areas adding a subdued golden lift against the cooler brown-grey passages. The supplied record identifies it as a fabric with no composition, width, rub test or performance specification provided.

How to use it

Hang Studio Sorbet as full-length curtains where its warm taupe ground, creamy sections and muted ochre accents can soften daylight without overpowering a room. Pair it with natural timber, quiet beige upholstery and brown or bronze details to echo its earthy depth.

Use the warm taupe and ochre geometry as softly filtered window dressing in calm, earthy interiors.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Studio Sorbet 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.
