Melford Squirrel

Melford Weaves FabricSAF0338-14

Melford Squirrel is a soft, sandy beige weave with a subtle herringbone effect that reads calm and natural on the eye. The fine surface pattern stays restrained, letting the tonal depth do the work.

About this fabric

This Sanderson fabric has a usable width of 138.5 cm and comes on a 40 m standard length, with no vertical repeat and a compact 1.6 cm horizontal repeat. At 270 gsm, it feels like a substantial woven textile, and the close 88 threads per cm help create the neat, tight surface seen in the swatch. The colour sits between oatmeal and pale taupe, with a warm undertone that keeps it from looking stark or grey. The small herringbone structure gives just enough movement to catch the light without losing the fabric’s quiet, upholstered feel.

How to use it

Use this warm beige colourway on an armchair, banquette or headboard where you want a light neutral with some texture. It pairs especially well with natural timber, linen whites and muted brown accents.

A soft neutral that gives chairs and cushions a quiet, tailored finish.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Melford Squirrel 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.
