About this fabric

This Linwood fabric is approximately 137cm wide and is specified for fixed upholstery in Contract and General Domestic settings. Its 17% viscose, 23% recycled polyester, 44% acrylic, 7% linen and 9% polyester composition creates a close, lightly nubby weave rather than a smooth flat cloth. The oatmeal shade sits between pale cream and gentle beige, with woven flecks that prevent it from looking stark or uniform. After-care is dry clean.

How to use it

Use Vara Oatmeal on sofas, dining chairs or occasional seating where its warm neutral tone can soften darker timber, stone and natural linen. Its subtle horizontal texture works especially well in calm, layered schemes without introducing a strong pattern.

A warm, quietly textured upholstery weave that brings softness and subtle depth to seating.

Pairs well with

Vara Oatmeal 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.
