About this fabric

This colourway is a gentle oat beige, with enough warmth to soften the near-white areas visible across the swatch. Fine intersecting threads form a subtle, linen-like texture, while the softly brushed shading creates quiet depth without a defined printed motif. The delicate-looking cloth has a light, relaxed presence that is particularly well suited to drapery. Its low-contrast surface will bring softness to a window without introducing a strong pattern.

How to use it

Use 16 Oat for full-length curtains in calm, light-filled rooms, pairing its warm oat tone with chalky whites, pale timber and softly weathered neutrals. It also works as a quiet backdrop where stronger furniture shapes or natural textures should remain the focus.

Use this softly textured oat shade for relaxed curtains that keep a room feeling light and calm.

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.
