Matmi Cardamom

Name: Matmi Cardamom

Matmi Cardamom shows a tight, repeating geometric motif in olive and warm neutral tones, with a textured woven surface that reads crisp and tailored. The small-scale design gives the swatch a neat rhythm and a quietly graphic feel.

About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric from the Curios Weaves collection is a substantial woven textile at 470 gsm, with a usable width of 136 cm and a 2.5 cm horizontal and vertical repeat. The surface visible here is richly textured, with an olive-toned pattern set against a soft pale ground, creating a dry, tactile look rather than a glossy finish. The cardamom colourway feels muted and earthy, with the green reading more herbaceous than bright. Its small repeating motif and heavy cloth weight make it especially suited to upholstery, where the pattern can sit neatly across cushions and seating.

How to use it

Use this colourway on an armchair, ottoman or dining chair to bring in a restrained olive accent that still feels patterned and considered. It pairs naturally with timber, stone and warm off-whites, and the small repeat keeps it tidy in compact rooms.

A crisp small-scale weave that brings a tailored olive note to seating or feature cushions.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Matmi Cardamom without fighting it. 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.
