Crisscross Brush

Name: Crisscross Brush
Brand: Mark Alexander

Crisscross Brush is shown here in a warm greige colourway, with a softly brushed, irregular grid that gives the surface gentle movement. The layered weave reads as tactile and quietly dimensional rather than sharply geometric.

About this fabric

This Mark Alexander textile combines creamy highlights with taupe-greige depth, creating a warm neutral that changes subtly across the folded surface. Fine intersecting lines form a small crisscross structure, while the uneven brushing keeps the pattern organic and softened. The close-up shows a substantial-looking woven texture with enough visual variation to prevent the neutral ground from appearing flat. It is catalogued as a fabric, and no performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this warm greige colourway on an armchair, sofa or headboard where its small woven pattern can bring texture without dominating the room. Pair it with ivory, oatmeal and weathered timber for a relaxed, layered scheme.

Use this softly textured greige upholstery to add quiet pattern and tactile depth to seating.

Pairs well with

Crisscross 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.
