About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, this swatch has a compact, tactile weave that makes the herringbone structure clearly visible across the surface. The Gorse colourway sits between muted olive, brown and ochre, with fine darker strands tracing each small V-shaped chevron. Its dense appearance reads as substantial and tailored, while the raised weave catches the light subtly along the diagonal ridges. The restrained, natural colouring makes the pattern feel measured rather than busy on upholstered furniture.

How to use it

Pair this olive-brown Gorse colourway with warm timber, aged leather and chalky neutrals for a grounded, quietly layered scheme. On a chair, bench or sofa, its small-scale herringbone adds tailored texture without introducing a strong contrast.

Use this earthy olive-brown herringbone to bring quiet texture and tailored warmth to upholstered seating.

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.
