About this fabric

The tightly woven surface is built from small chevron-like herringbone rows, with warm taupe and brown fibres interspersed by restrained blue-grey accents. The fine scale and matte texture keep the pattern understated, while the mixed yarn tones prevent the brown from appearing flat. No composition, width, rub-test or other performance specification is supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this taupe-brown colourway on a classic armchair, dining seat or sofa where its blue-grey flecks can connect with cool stone, weathered timber and muted blue accents. The small herringbone adds texture without imposing a strong graphic pattern.

A softly understated herringbone weave that brings quiet texture and tonal depth to upholstered pieces.

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.
