About this fabric

The colour sits between warm beige and muted taupe, with a gentle cumin depth rather than a bright yellow cast. Small, repeating botanical motifs in brown create orderly rows across the pale ground, while the visible surface has a subtle, matte textile texture. Shown on cushions, the fabric reads as a versatile mid-weight suitable for both upholstery and drapery. No performance features are noted for this fabric, so its appeal here is centred on the warm colour and delicate printed pattern.

How to use it

Use M660 Cumin for cushions, occasional upholstery or relaxed curtains alongside aged timber, woven neutrals and warm plaster tones. Its muted cumin ground works especially well with brown leather, natural linen and understated rustic finishes.

The warm cumin ground and softly contrasting brown motif suit relaxed, earthy interiors, from cushions to casual curtains.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside M660 Cumin without fighting it. 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.
