Name: Petite Chestnut

Petite Chestnut pairs an almost-white woven ground with a slender chestnut-brown accent that sweeps diagonally across the cloth. The close-up reveals a quietly tactile surface and a warm, earthy contrast.

About this fabric

The pale ground has a fine, closely woven texture that reads almost white in the image. A narrow chestnut-brown band crosses diagonally, tapering and widening subtly rather than following a rigid geometric stripe. Its darker thread definition gives the accent gentle depth against the light ground, while the overall effect remains airy and composed. No composition, width, rub test or other performance specification is supplied for this fabric, and no performance features are listed.

How to use it

Use Petite Chestnut for relaxed curtains or tailored Roman blinds where its light ground can keep a room feeling open. The warm brown diagonal detail will sit naturally with chestnut timber, soft taupes and other earthy neutrals.

The pale ground and narrow chestnut diagonal accent bring a light, tailored character to curtains and blinds.

Petite Chestnut 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.
