Town Cocoa

Town Cocoa is a deep, warm brown textile with a restrained woven surface. Its softly varied threads give the plain colour a gentle depth rather than a flat, uniform finish.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a dark cocoa-brown ground with very subtle tonal shifts across the face. A fine woven grain, including delicate vertical and horizontal variation, adds texture without introducing a visible motif. The shade reads warm and earthy, becoming slightly lighter where the weave catches the light. Its plain, low-contrast appearance makes the colour and surface texture the defining features.

How to use it

Use Town Cocoa to bring enveloping warmth to a seat, blind or curtain, balancing its deep brown tone with chalky neutrals, tobacco leather or pale natural timber.

Pair the warm cocoa tone with oat, tan and aged timber for a grounded, quietly refined scheme.

Pairs well with

Town Cocoa 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.
