About this fabric

The close, fine weave is visibly flecked with delicate vertical and horizontal variation rather than a printed motif, creating a quiet linen-like effect. Its warm buff tone feels softer and more welcoming than a cool stone beige, while remaining pale and versatile. The surface has a matte appearance with slight tonal movement across the swatch. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Motion Buff to soften relaxed sitting rooms, upholstered headboards or lightly textured curtains where its warm beige tone can sit alongside ivory, oak, rattan and muted earthy shades. Pair it with darker brown or bronze accents to draw out the swatch’s subtle woven depth.

Its warm buff tone and subtly irregular woven surface bring quiet texture to upholstery, cushions or softly filtered window treatments.

Pairs well with

Motion Buff 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.
