About this fabric

This colourway has a natural, softly variegated palette that moves from near-white through warm cream and sand to delicate beige flecks. Broad, irregular fringe bands give the textile its defining visual rhythm, while the fine ground remains subtly visible between them. The raised fibres catch the light unevenly, making the oatmeal tones appear gently shaded rather than flat. No composition, width, rub test or performance specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Melange Natural where its warm oatmeal and ivory tones can soften a room, such as on a tactile occasional chair or upholstered headboard. Keep surrounding finishes quiet and natural so the irregular fringe texture remains the focus.

Use this tactile oatmeal-and-cream textile to bring soft natural texture to upholstered pieces.

Pairs well with

Melange 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.
