Crisscross Chestnut

Timeless Pattern Fabric

Crisscross Chestnut combines a warm chestnut-brown ground with a softly contrasting cream crosshatch. The close-up reveals a tactile woven surface where irregular lines build a compact, layered grid.

About this fabric

The colourway reads as earthy and gently softened rather than saturated, with chestnut threads interlaced by lighter cream lines. Its small-scale crisscross motif shifts subtly across the surface, creating areas that appear denser and darker beside more open, light-catching passages. The visible weave gives the fabric a natural, textural character suitable for upholstery or drapery. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Pair this warm chestnut and cream colourway with timber, oatmeal upholstery and aged brass for a grounded, quietly tailored room. Its compact grid can also bring definition to a plain sofa, bench or full-length curtain without introducing a bold pattern.

Use the warm chestnut ground and cream grid to add quiet structure to upholstery, cushions or relaxed window treatments.

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.
