Soho Fabric

Soho Espresso is a deep brown textile with a fine, closely set weave and a softly varied surface. Its near-charcoal depth gives the colour a restrained, quietly sophisticated character.

About this fabric

The image shows a small-scale plain weave in espresso brown, with fine horizontal and vertical threads creating understated texture rather than a visible motif. Subtle shifts between brown and charcoal across the surface prevent the dark shade from appearing flat, while the even construction reads as neat and tailored. Its close woven appearance makes it best suited to upholstery rather than lightweight, fluid drapery. No further specification data or performance features are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair Soho Espresso with warm timber, aged brass and oat or stone textiles to draw out its brown undertone. On a sofa, armchair or dining seat, the dark neutral provides a calm, grounding counterpoint to lighter walls and natural materials.

Use this deep espresso tone to bring quiet warmth and a tailored, grounded finish to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Soho Espresso 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.
