About this fabric

The swatch shows an even textile surface with a fine, softly brushed appearance rather than a visible motif or printed pattern. Chestnut brown is softened by taupe-grey undertones, giving the colour a muted depth instead of a saturated red-brown finish. Subtle shifts in the surface catch the light gently, adding interest while keeping the overall look calm and discreet. No performance features are noted in the supplied data for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this warm, greyed chestnut on a relaxed sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtain where it can balance cream, stone and deeper wood tones. Its low-contrast surface also works well as a quiet textural layer beside patterned furnishings.

Its muted chestnut-taupe tone and softly textured surface bring understated warmth to upholstery or drapery.

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.
