About this fabric

The fabric has a dense-looking, fine plain weave, with closely spaced yarns creating subtle horizontal and vertical texture across the surface. Its clove-brown tone sits on the warm side of brown, while tiny shifts between lighter and darker threads prevent the colour from appearing flat. The supplied catalogue records this as a Fabric and notes no performance features. With no pattern competing for attention, the tactile weave is the defining visual detail.

How to use it

Use this warm clove brown to upholster a reading chair, bench or compact sofa where its understated texture can add depth without introducing a strong pattern. Pair it with cream, tobacco, aged timber and other earthy neutrals for a grounded scheme.

A warm, textured clove brown for relaxed upholstered seating and occasional furniture.

Pairs well with

Hampstead Clove 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.
