Malabar Fabric

Malabar Fennel has a quiet, earthy presence, combining olive and brown tones in a softly fluid cloth. Its fine, even weave is especially apparent across the gently folded surface.

About this fabric

The colour reads as a warm, muted olive brown, with deeper khaki shadows forming naturally in the gathered folds and lighter areas catching a soft, understated sheen. A fine, closely woven texture gives the surface a smooth appearance without a visible motif or pattern. The cloth falls fluidly in the photograph, making drapery the most natural application. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so its tonal colour and graceful handling are the defining characteristics shown here.

How to use it

Use Malabar Fennel at the window where its earthy olive-brown tone can soften pale stone, warm timber and other natural neutrals. Full, lightly gathered curtains will emphasise the cloth’s flowing folds and subtle shifts between khaki light and brown shadow.

Use this softly fluid olive-brown cloth for relaxed curtains, Roman blinds or tonal layered window treatments.

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.
