About this fabric

The image shows an essentially plain fabric with a fine, low-contrast weave rather than a printed motif. Tiny vertical and horizontal threads create a restrained surface grain, while the matte finish keeps the colour soft and even. The warm beige-sand tone is lighter than conventional tan, giving the cloth a calm, lightly sun-washed appearance. No additional performance or construction specifications were supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Town Sand to bring a gentle warmth to upholstered seating, headboards or relaxed curtains without introducing a strong pattern. It works particularly well beside chalky whites, pale oak and other quiet natural neutrals, where its beige undertone remains visible.

A softly warm sand neutral with a barely visible woven grain, suited to calm upholstery or light-filled drapery.

Pairs well with

Town Sand 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.
