About this fabric

The fine herringbone is formed from closely alternating lines, creating a restrained chevron effect across the cloth rather than a bold graphic pattern. Taupe, brown and lighter sandy threads mingle through the weave, giving the colourway a gently variegated appearance. The surface reads as a substantial, tactile textile in the close-up image, with enough visual structure to bring quiet interest to upholstered furniture. Its smart, understated character keeps the pattern refined while the warm brown tone adds depth.

How to use it

Use this warm taupe-brown colourway on a tailored armchair, sofa or headboard, pairing it with ivory, tobacco, natural timber and aged brass. The fine herringbone can sit comfortably alongside plain linens and softly patterned textiles without overwhelming the room.

A warm, quietly patterned upholstery weave for tailored seating, headboards and occasional chairs.

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.
