About this fabric

The close-up shows a compact woven surface built from irregular horizontal lines, with plum, grey and warm taupe threads blending through the Thistle colourway. Its low-contrast texture creates depth without introducing a distinct printed motif, while occasional lighter fibres catch across the face of the cloth. The supplied record lists no further specification data for this fabric, so its classification here is based on the visibly substantial, upholstery-suitable weave.

How to use it

Use 18 Thistle on a relaxed armchair, footstool or sofa where its muted mauve-taupe tone can soften deeper plum, mushroom and warm grey furnishings. Pair it with brushed timber and nubby neutral textiles to echo the swatch’s tactile horizontal grain.

Its muted mauve-taupe colouring and horizontally striated texture suit relaxed, tactile upholstery schemes.

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.
