M575 Chestnut

M575 Chestnut reads as a warm chestnut-brown woven surface, softened by a taupe-grey undertone. Fine horizontal ridges and scattered lighter threads keep the colour lively without introducing a separate motif.

About this fabric

M575 Chestnut is a warm, muted brown with a grey-taupe cast, giving the surface more depth than a flat chestnut shade. The image shows a close, horizontal weave built from fine uneven lines, with occasional pale threads catching across the surface and creating a softly striated finish. Its substantial-looking woven texture points naturally towards upholstery rather than a light, fluid drapery cloth. No composition, width, rub-test figure or performance feature is supplied for this exact SKU, so those details should be confirmed separately.

How to use it

Use the muted chestnut-brown tone to bring warmth to an upholstered chair, sofa or headboard, especially alongside oatmeal, stone and aged timber. Its fine horizontal texture adds quiet depth without introducing a strong decorative pattern.

A warm taupe-brown, horizontally textured weave with a softly irregular surface.

Pairs well with

M575 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.
