About this fabric

The colour sits between beige and grey, with a gentle mushroom warmth rather than a cool stone cast. Narrow, irregular vertical lines run through the surface, creating the matchstick effect without forming a bold stripe. Its visible woven texture reads as a versatile mid-weight cloth, suitable for either upholstery or drapery. No composition, width or rub-test specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Matchstick to bring a warm mushroom-taupe note to a calm neutral scheme, where its fine vertical texture can add depth without introducing a strong pattern. It would work equally well on a tailored chair or as softly hanging curtains.

A warm mushroom-taupe woven texture that brings quiet depth to upholstery, cushions or softly tailored window treatments.

Pairs well with

Leoni Matchstick 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.
