About this fabric

This colourway of Embleton Bay Fabrics has a distinct mustard-seed warmth: rich enough to feel optimistic, but softened by pale woven highlights that stop it reading brash. The repeating petal-like geometry is clearly visible in the cloth, with each motif defined by fine linear texture rather than bold contrast. At 300 gsm, it has the substance of a mid-weight fabric, and the usable width is 137 cm with a 25 m standard roll length. The pattern repeats every 26 cm vertically and 23 cm horizontally, giving it a measured, ordered rhythm across upholstery or curtains. With no performance features noted, it is best specified with care for decorative schemes rather than hard-use settings.

How to use it

Use it to warm up pale oak, chalky whites, and other soft neutrals, where the mustard tone can act as the room’s brightest accent. It also works well with deep green or aged brass details, which suit the fabric’s smart, geometric character.

A warm mustard ground that adds sunny character without overpowering a room.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Sycamore Weave Mustard Seed 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.
