About this fabric

The colour sits between brown and ochre, reading muted and warmly grounded rather than bright or reddish. Close up, the even surface shows delicate vertical striations and a softly irregular woven texture. The low-contrast construction keeps the design understated while giving the solid shade depth as light moves across it. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Pair this cumin-brown colourway with natural timber, warm stone and softened neutrals for an enveloping scheme. Its calm, earthy depth also works well as a unifying plain on seating or full-length window treatments.

Use the muted cumin-brown tone to bring warm, grounded depth to upholstery, curtains or coordinated soft furnishings.

Pairs well with

Town Cumin 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.
