Lapis Brown is a calm, earthy plain with a softly shaded brown surface and a restrained, matte look. The colour reads as a muted lapis-toned brown rather than a flat taupe, giving it quiet depth.

About this fabric

Woven in 80% polyester and 20% cotton, this fabric has a substantial 370gsm handle and is suitable for curtains, blinds and upholstery. The cloth appears smooth and close-woven, with subtle tonal movement that keeps the brown from feeling one-note. Its 100,000 Martindale rating makes it a strong choice for seating as well as window treatments, while the 138cm width offers practical coverage. With no repeat to consider, it presents as a simple, understated plain that lets the colour do the work.

How to use it

Use this muted brown to ground a scheme with oak, leather and soft stone neutrals, or pair it with warm brass for a richer, more tailored feel. It would also bring welcome depth to curtains in a sunlit room without looking heavy.

A versatile earthy brown that works neatly across upholstery and soft furnishings.

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.
