About this fabric

Catalogued as a Fabric in Mark Alexander’s Timeless Textures collection, this colourway has a natural beige ground rather than a bright cream or cool grey. Fine vertical striations give the surface a gently elongated rhythm, while the crosshatch construction adds small-scale definition across the cloth. Slight shifts between lighter and darker threads keep the neutral tone from appearing flat, with the texture catching the light softly rather than creating a bold contrast. No performance features are noted in the supplied information.

How to use it

Pair this pale, warm-leaning beige with chalky whites, oak and other natural finishes for a calm, layered room. Its subtle vertical emphasis would work neatly on a tailored chair, headboard or full-length curtain where the weave can be seen up close.

A quietly textured neutral with enough structure for upholstery and soft enough movement for drapery.

Pairs well with

Crosshatch Natural 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.
