About this fabric

The colour sits between warm taupe, soft olive and weathered tan, with subtle tonal variation rather than a flat finish. Its dense-looking weave is marked by delicate vertical lines and small shifts of light across the surface. No further specification data or performance features are supplied for this fabric, so composition, width and rub-test details should be confirmed before ordering.

How to use it

Use Wave Fern to add an earthy, softened note to an upholstered chair, headboard or cushion arrangement. Its restrained fern-taupe tone also pairs naturally with warm timber, oatmeal textiles and darker olive accents.

The earthy fern-taupe tone brings soft warmth to upholstery, cushions or understated window treatments.

Pairs well with

Wave Fern 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.
