About this fabric

The close, even texture gives this Warwick fabric a dense, substantial appearance, while the folds reveal a restrained surface sheen. Its bitter brown colour is muted rather than red or golden, creating a rich, grounded impression under changing light. The plain surface keeps the emphasis on depth, touch and tonal variation rather than pattern. With its apparent weight and compact weave, this colourway is particularly suited to upholstery.

How to use it

Pair Everest Bitter with warm timber, aged brass and creamy textiles to soften its near-black brown depth. It would bring a cocooning, luxe quality to a sofa, occasional chair or upholstered headboard.

Use this dense, dark brown cloth on upholstered seating to bring depth and a quietly luxurious finish.

Everest Bitter 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.
