About this fabric

Sorgho - Ocre is built from irregular horizontal bands, with mustard-ochre yarns threaded through chalky cream and flecks of soft grey. The close, nubby surface gives the swatch a tactile, lightly bouclé-like character, while the broken stripe keeps the pattern informal rather than graphic. Its warm ochre reads earthy and mellow, with pale threads lifting the shade so it does not appear flat or overly dark. No performance features are noted in the supplied information, so suitability should be considered from the intended project requirements.

How to use it

Use this mellow ochre on an occasional chair, headboard or sofa where its broken horizontal texture can add warmth without introducing a high-contrast motif. Pair it with chalky neutrals, natural timber and muted rust accents to echo the swatch’s earthy depth.

A warm, tactile upholstery choice with broken horizontal bands and an earthy ochre character.

Sorgho - Ocre 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.
