About this fabric

The surface shows a dense, understated crosshatch, with fine vertical and horizontal threads creating subtle tonal movement rather than a defined motif. Its warm taupe-beige colouring reads earthy and calm, while the lightly irregular weave prevents the plain ground from appearing flat. The cloth has the visual character of a versatile mid-weight textile, making it suitable for upholstery or drapery. No further specification data, including composition or performance testing, has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair this warm taupe colourway with chalky creams, natural timber and deeper brown accents for a softly grounded room. Its restrained woven texture would work equally well on a tailored chair or full-length curtains.

Use this warm taupe weave to bring understated texture to upholstered seating, relaxed curtains or layered neutral schemes.

Veldt Brush 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.
