About this fabric

The warm amber ground has a muted peach-caramel quality, while the slightly darker linear motif forms elongated, irregular facets across the cloth. Its fine surface texture gently diffuses the colour, so the shade reads softly rather than with a hard, glossy saturation. The pattern is broad in scale but delicate in contrast, giving the textile a considered, architectural feel. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair this warm amber colourway with chalky neutrals, pale timber and softly aged brass for a light contemporary scheme. On upholstery it can bring gentle colour and graphic definition to a chair or occasional sofa; used at the window, its muted tone keeps the geometric pattern calm.

Use this softly warm amber colourway to add understated geometric interest to contemporary upholstery or relaxed window treatments.

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.
