About this fabric

The image shows a dense, matte textile with a fine, closely blended surface rather than a distinct printed motif. Dark brown forms the main ground, while muted olive, ochre and subtle rust-coloured flecks create tonal movement from edge to edge. The compact-looking weave and softly uneven shading make this colourway read as a substantial upholstery cloth. Its low-contrast surface keeps the overall impression calm and grounded.

How to use it

Use Earth - Gorse on a sofa, armchair or footstool where its warm brown base can anchor natural timber, leather and stone. Olive and ochre flecks can be picked up in cushions or painted accents without making the scheme feel bright.

A warm, quietly mottled brown for relaxed upholstery, bringing olive and ochre depth to a room.

Earth - Gorse 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.
