Bogolan 5
African Skies Fabric
Bogolan 5 has a warm ochre-gold ground lifted by a pale, graphic geometric motif. The overall effect is earthy and sunlit, with enough contrast to keep the pattern crisp.

About this fabric
This fabric from the African Skies collection by Titley & Marr has no performance features noted, and the visible cloth reads as a versatile decorative textile rather than a hard, glossy surface. The muted gold ground sits between mustard and soft ochre, giving the pattern a dry, sun-baked feel rather than a bright yellow look. Pale cream-grey motifs form a repeating grid of zigzags, dots and diamond shapes, so the design feels rhythmic and structured. The texture visible in the swatch is slightly slubbed and tactile, which softens the geometry and keeps the colourway from feeling too sharp.
How to use it
Use Bogolan 5 to warm up neutral schemes, especially with timber, clay, linen and chalky painted finishes. Its muted gold tone brings character to bench seating, cushions or statement curtains without overwhelming the room.
A warm ochre ground with pale motif works well when you want pattern without heaviness.

Pairs well with
A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Bogolan 5 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.
