About this fabric

The colour reads as a light ivory-beige with a subtle sandy warmth, rather than a stark cream or cool grey. Fine horizontal threads and delicate vertical variation create a lightly flecked, close-woven texture across the swatch. The low-contrast surface keeps the overall effect calm and relaxed, while the irregular weave prevents the colour from appearing flat.

How to use it

Use Lexington Sand where a room needs a gentle warm neutral: it can sit comfortably on an upholstered seat or cushion, or soften a window treatment without competing with stronger colours and patterns.

A softly textured sand neutral that brings gentle warmth to upholstery, cushions or relaxed window treatments.

Pairs well with

Lexington Sand 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.
