About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric from Mark Alexander’s Rhythm collection, this colourway has an even woven construction with fine horizontal and vertical yarn variation visible in the swatch. Its chestnut tone sits between warm brown and weathered taupe, giving the surface a grounded, understated depth. The close texture catches the light in small shifts, creating a softly tactile appearance without a pronounced motif. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this listing.

How to use it

Use Veldt Chestnut to bring quiet warmth to an armchair, sofa or full-length curtain, pairing its brown-grey tone with aged timber, stone, oatmeal or softened black. Its restrained texture also works well as a neutral foundation for patterned cushions and layered natural finishes.

A quietly textured chestnut-taupe weave suited to upholstered pieces, curtains and layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Veldt 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.
