Durham Fabric

Durham Forest is a deep forest-olive textile with a closely woven, finely crosshatched surface. Its dark, muted colouring gives the swatch a grounded character, while subtle tonal variation keeps the plain design from appearing flat.

About this fabric

The visible weave is dense and even, with tiny horizontal and vertical threads creating a restrained linen-like texture. Forest green and olive-brown undertones shift gently across the surface, giving this colourway more depth than a single solid shade. The compact woven appearance reads as substantial and well suited to upholstery. No composition, width, usage or rub-test information was supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Pair Durham Forest with warm timber, aged brass and natural stone to draw out its earthy olive tone. It would also give a tailored depth to a neutral room when used on a sofa, armchair or dining chair.

Use this deep olive weave to bring a grounded, quietly tailored feel to upholstered seating and occasional furniture.

Pairs well with

Durham Forest 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.
