Fibre Liquorice

Fibre Fabric

Fibre Liquorice has a pale greige ground punctuated by fine charcoal threads, creating a softly mottled appearance across the swatch. Its close, irregular weave gives the surface a tactile, textile-led character.

About this fabric

The colour sits between warm stone and light grey, with darker flecks adding gentle definition rather than a strong contrast. Viewed close up, the weave forms a fine crosshatched texture with small tonal irregularities throughout. This restrained, low-pattern surface keeps the Liquorice colourway calm while preventing it from appearing flat. The tightly woven look makes it particularly suited to upholstery where subtle texture is wanted without a pronounced motif.

How to use it

Use Liquorice on a clean-lined armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard alongside chalky whites, natural oak and charcoal accents. Its pale greige tone works especially well where a room needs a light neutral with more visual depth than a plain cream.

A softly mottled greige textile that brings quiet depth to upholstered seating and headboards.

Pairs well with

Fibre Liquorice 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.
