About this fabric

The swatch has a rich ochre tone that sits between mustard yellow and softened brown, giving the colour noticeable depth without appearing bright or saturated. A fine woven texture runs across the surface, with delicate vertical and horizontal variation visible in the close-up. The finish reads predominantly matte, while small changes in the weave catch the light and prevent the plain colour from looking flat. This is a quietly distinctive colourway whose warmth gives the Timeless Plains design a grounded, natural mood.

How to use it

Use Town Ochre to add a sun-warmed note to a neutral room, particularly alongside chalky creams, aged timber and deeper brown accents. Its understated plain weave can cover a larger upholstered piece or bring a softly textured ochre layer to curtains.

A warm ochre plain weave that brings earthy colour and understated texture to upholstery or window treatments.

Pairs well with

Town Ochre 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.
