About this fabric

This Sanderson Melford Weaves fabric is a versatile 220 gsm textile with a usable width of 139 cm and no pattern repeat, making it straightforward to pattern-match and cut. The swatch reads as a warm almond beige with subtle golden undertones, softened by a fine, even weave that catches the light in a restrained way. At 34 threads per cm, the cloth has a compact, refined texture rather than a loose rustic open weave. The overall effect is calm and understated, with enough body to feel substantial while still keeping a clean, composed finish.

How to use it

Use Helena Almond to soften tailored upholstery, a blind, or full-length curtains where a warm neutral is needed without cream brightness. It pairs especially well with oak, cane, chalk white, and muted olive accents.

A calm neutral weave that works beautifully on upholstered pieces or layered drapery.

Pairs well with

Helena Almond 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.
