Nenuphar - Sienne

Name: Nenuphar - Sienne

Nenuphar - Sienne combines a warm russet-terracotta ground with a dense field of irregular, rounded cellular shapes. Pale taupe lines catch across the surface, giving the colourway a softly dimensional finish.

About this fabric

The close-packed motif is made up of small organic cells, with occasional larger forms creating gentle variation across the design. Its deep Sienne colouring sits between terracotta, rust and brown, while the lighter taupe tracery prevents the surface from reading flat. The visibly tactile texture adds depth without losing the pattern’s compact, ordered rhythm. The supplied specification records no performance features.

How to use it

Pair this warm russet colourway with aged wood, tobacco leather and muted cream upholstery, using it where a room needs earthy colour and a clearly patterned focal point.

Use the warm russet Sienne colourway to bring grounded, richly patterned character to occasional chairs, sofas or headboards.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Nenuphar - Sienne without fighting it. 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.
