About this fabric

This plain Sable colourway reads as a natural sable tan, sitting between warm beige and light camel rather than appearing yellow or grey. The close surface has a softly mottled, brushed-looking texture, with delicate horizontal striations visible through the weave. Light catches the surface unevenly, giving the otherwise calm ground subtle depth without a pronounced pattern. With no performance features or further specifications supplied, its character is best assessed from this understated textile texture and mid-weight-looking appearance.

How to use it

Use Sable to warm a restrained scheme: it would sit comfortably on a softly tailored chair or sofa, or fall as relaxed curtains alongside cream, walnut and muted earthy tones. Its low-contrast surface also works as a quiet neutral against stronger patterned upholstery.

Use this warm sable tan as a calm grounding neutral across upholstered pieces, curtains or cushions.

Nectar - Sable 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.
