Bordure Natural

Bordure Natural has a softly rustic presence, shown here as a substantial natural-beige woven band with rows of raised loops. Its warm oat tone shifts gently through the texture rather than appearing flat.

About this fabric

The close view reveals a dense, irregular looped weave with a nubby, tactile surface and softly varied beige colouring. Light catches the rounded loops along the upper band, while the folded section deepens into a warmer taupe-brown shadow. The natural palette remains muted and quietly grounded, giving the fabric a relaxed, craft-led character. Its visibly substantial woven structure makes it especially well suited to upholstery applications.

How to use it

Use Bordure Natural on a relaxed armchair, footstool or occasional cushion where its warm oat-beige tone can sit alongside linen, timber and softly off-white walls. The raised weave adds depth without introducing a strong contrasting pattern.

Pair its warm oat-beige tone with chalky neutrals, timber and other tactile natural finishes.

Pairs well with

Bordure Natural 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.
