About this fabric

Duo 190 is catalogued as a Fabric from Swaffer’s Weave collection, with no further performance specifications supplied. The swatch shows a deep brown ground threaded with minute charcoal and warmer brown flecks, giving the colour a softly mottled appearance. Its tightly packed, low-relief weave catches the light in tiny shifts across the surface and has the substantial visual character suited to upholstery.

How to use it

Its deep, earthy brown tone works particularly well on a sofa, armchair or dining seat, paired with aged timber, dark metal and warm cream accents.

Use the deep mottled brown as a grounding upholstery tone alongside warm woods, leather and softly contrasting neutrals.

Pairs well with

Duo 190 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.
