About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Chelsea Desert is shown here in a warm sandy beige that sits between natural linen and light camel. Its surface is plain and finely woven, with delicate tonal variation where the threads catch the light. The restrained texture gives the colour a softly tactile, relaxed character rather than a flat or highly polished appearance. With no further performance or composition specifications supplied, this colourway is best considered for projects where its calm neutral tone and understated weave are the visual focus.

How to use it

Pair this desert beige with chalky whites, pale oak and soft terracotta for a sun-warmed room, or use it to soften darker walnut and bronze accents. Its quiet plain weave works equally well as a grounding upholstery or drapery choice.

Use this warm sandy beige as a calm foundation for upholstered seating, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

Chelsea Desert 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.
