About this fabric

The image shows a compact cord texture made from narrow, closely spaced vertical ribs rather than a printed pattern. Its ochre-brown colour has a muted, earthy depth, with darker lines between the raised cords adding gentle definition. Light catches the ridges unevenly, creating a subtle tonal movement across the otherwise plain surface. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this warm kelp-brown colourway to bring depth to a reading chair, bench or sofa, particularly alongside cream, tobacco, rust and dark wood. Its fine vertical rib can add quiet texture without introducing a strong motif.

Cord Fr Crib 5 Kelp 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.
