About this fabric

The close, even weave gives this colourway a subtly textured look rather than a completely flat finish, with fine tonal variation visible across the surface. Leaf Fennel reads as a balanced neutral: warmer than a straightforward grey, but more muted and mineral than beige. The supplied information lists no further composition, width, rub test or performance specification for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair Leaf Fennel with chalky whites, natural timber and muted olive or fennel-green accents for a calm, layered scheme. Its soft greige-taupe tone would sit comfortably on a tailored chair, relaxed sofa or full-length curtain.

Use this softly mottled greige-taupe weave to bring quiet warmth to upholstery, curtains or blinds.

Pairs well with

Leaf Fennel 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.
