About this fabric

Ammonite - Naturel is a pale, warm-neutral textile with a closely repeated pattern of fine, branching floral or shell-like forms. The motif is drawn in a slightly deeper taupe-grey, so it reads as quiet tracery rather than a high-contrast print. Its woven-looking surface gives the small pattern gentle depth as light shifts across the swatch. This is catalogued as a fabric, and no performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this pale taupe-grey colourway on a smaller upholstered piece or relaxed window treatment, pairing it with oatmeal, chalk and warm timber. Its fine tonal pattern can add detail without disturbing a quiet neutral room.

Use this softly tonal taupe with warm neutrals, natural timber and layered textures for a calm, refined scheme.

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.
