Saddle Spice is a warm, russet-brown fabric with softly blended tonal variation across its surface. The close view reveals a fine, suede-like texture rather than a defined woven motif or repeat.

About this fabric

The colour shifts between saddle brown, burnt russet and slightly lighter coppery areas, giving the cloth a gently weathered depth. Its mottled surface has a soft, velvety visual character, with the darker and lighter patches merging gradually rather than forming a regular pattern. This fabric is catalogued as a textile with no performance features noted. The understated tonal movement makes it suitable for upholstery or drapery where a rich brown shade is wanted without a bold print.

How to use it

Use Saddle Spice to warm a neutral room on an armchair, sofa or pair of curtains, especially alongside cream, tobacco, aged brass and dark timber. Its russet undertone also works well with earthy greens and terracotta accents.

Its warm saddle-brown ground and softly mottled surface bring depth without a defined repeat.

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.
