M649 Chestnut

Name: M649 Chestnut
Brand: Mark Alexander

M649 Chestnut is a warm, earthy brown textile with a softly mottled appearance. Its close, even weave gives the colour a quiet depth rather than a flat, solid finish.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a fine plain weave with tiny horizontal and vertical irregularities across the surface. Chestnut brown reads warm and grounded here, with lighter threads gently lifting the overall shade and adding a restrained, tactile grain. No composition, width or performance specification is supplied for this colourway, so those details should be confirmed before ordering.

How to use it

Bring the warm chestnut tone into a relaxed scheme with oat, cream and natural wood, or use it to add depth beside lighter upholstery and painted surfaces.

Use this warm chestnut brown as a grounded neutral on upholstery, curtains or cushions, pairing it with natural timber and soft creams.

M649 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.
