Spiral Fennel

Spiral Fabric

Spiral Fennel has a muted taupe-brown appearance, with fine tonal variation running across its closely woven surface. The subtle flecking gives the plain ground gentle depth without creating a visible repeat.

About this fabric

The colour sits between warm grey and soft brown, reading calm and earthy rather than distinctly beige. Its dense, finely textured weave catches the light in small variations, creating a softly mottled finish across the swatch. No further composition, width or performance specification is supplied for this SKU.

How to use it

Use this understated taupe-brown on a sofa, armchair or dining seat where its quiet texture can balance stronger timber, stone or patterned accents. Its warm-grey depth also works well with cream, olive and deeper brown tones.

A softly mottled taupe-brown weave that brings quiet depth to upholstered seating and occasional chairs.

Pairs well with

Spiral 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.
