About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Motion Rope is shown here in a light rope-beige tone that sits between cream and soft taupe. The close view reveals a delicate crosshatched weave, with fine vertical and horizontal variation rather than a printed motif. Subtle shifts in the weave keep the pale colour from looking flat, while the low contrast preserves its calm, relaxed character. Its fine appearance makes it particularly well suited to light-filtering curtains and other drapery applications.

How to use it

Use Motion Rope for full-length curtains in a warm neutral room, pairing its pale rope-beige tone with natural timber, chalky walls and softly contrasting taupes. It also works well as a quiet layer alongside textured linens and woven accessories.

Use this softly textured rope beige for calm curtains and relaxed, tonal schemes.

Pairs well with

Motion Rope 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.
