About this fabric

The image shows an even textile surface with fine vertical and horizontal movement, giving the plain colour a softly mottled finish. Its light sand tone is warmer than a cool stone neutral, with a muted depth that changes subtly as the surface catches the light. The weave appears sufficiently substantial for versatile upholstery or drapery use, although no performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Motion Desert to soften a room with warm ivory, natural timber and chalky cream, or pair it with deeper caramel accents when a little more contrast is needed. Its understated woven texture is well suited to relaxed curtains, cushions or lightly tailored upholstery.

A softly textured warm neutral that can bring gentle depth to upholstery, curtains or other layered interiors.

Pairs well with

Motion Desert 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.
