Ice Clove

Name: Ice Clove
Brand: Kirkby Design

Ice Clove has a deep, warm brown tone that recalls clove and dark cinnamon, with a softly varied surface visible across the close-up swatch. Its quiet plain character lets the colour provide the visual depth.

About this fabric

The swatch is a rich clove brown, warmer than a neutral brown and shaded with restrained russet undertones. A fine, close surface texture creates slight tonal movement rather than a distinct pattern, while the low sheen keeps the colour grounded and considered. The fabric is catalogued as a textile fabric, and no performance features or further specification data are supplied. Its substantial-looking appearance makes it well suited to upholstery-led schemes.

How to use it

Use Ice Clove on a tailored armchair, sofa or dining seat where its warm brown depth can anchor a room without becoming overly bright. Pair it with aged timber, brushed metal and chalky neutrals to bring out the colour’s russet warmth.

Ice 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.
