Utility Havana

Utility Fabric

Utility Havana has a warm camel-beige tone that reads softly earthy rather than yellow. The close plain weave is enlivened by a fine vertical grain and restrained tonal variation across the surface.

About this fabric

This colourway combines biscuit, camel and light brown threads into a quietly dimensional woven surface. Viewed close up, the textile has a fine vertical rib and tiny irregular flecks that keep the plain design from appearing flat. Its warm Havana tone brings a grounded, sun-baked quality to the swatch while retaining the versatility of a neutral. No performance features are noted for this fabric in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use Havana to warm a neutral sitting room, pairing its camel depth with chalky whites, natural timber and deeper tobacco or olive accents. Its fine texture can work across relaxed upholstery and softly coordinated window treatments.

A warm, earthy neutral with a fine woven grain for relaxed upholstery, curtains or coordinating soft furnishings.

Pairs well with

Utility Havana 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.
