About this fabric

Faze Bark is a warm bark-brown textile with nuanced shifts through taupe, muted brown and deeper shadowed tones. Fine vertical striations run through the softly mottled face, giving the surface a natural, lightly brushed appearance rather than a defined repeating motif. The low-lustre texture catches the light unevenly, adding depth without making the colour feel glossy or overly formal. No further specification data is supplied for this colourway, so composition, width and test results are not stated here.

How to use it

Use this warm bark brown on an armchair, sofa or footstool to bring an earthy, quietly sophisticated note to a room. Pair it with chalky neutrals, aged timber and darker brown accents to echo the swatch’s weathered tonal depth.

This warm bark brown works well on upholstered pieces where its softly mottled, tactile surface can add depth.

Pairs well with

Faze Bark 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.
