Sisal Chestnut

Name: Sisal Chestnut
Brand: Mark Alexander

Sisal Chestnut has a subdued chestnut-grey appearance, softened by a gentle olive cast across the surface. Fine horizontal striations create a quiet, woven texture that shifts subtly with the light.

About this fabric

This Grasscloth colourway reads as a weathered chestnut taupe rather than a warm reddish brown, with grey and muted olive notes tempering its depth. The surface is visually plain at a distance, but close inspection reveals closely spaced horizontal fibres and slight tonal variation. Its restrained texture gives the wallpaper a calm, natural presence without a defined motif or high-contrast repeat.

How to use it

Pair the chestnut-taupe tone with warm timber, aged bronze and softly neutral upholstery for a grounded room scheme. It also works well behind shelving or as a textural backdrop where the fine horizontal grain can be appreciated up close.

Use this muted chestnut-taupe ground to bring softly layered, natural texture to walls without introducing a strong pattern.

Pairs well with

Sisal 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.
