About this fabric

Tenby 17 Bark is a fabric from Wemyss’s Tenby collection, shown here as a compact, tightly woven textile with an understated plain surface. The Bark colour has a grounded, earthy depth rather than a pronounced brown tone, making it read as a warm grey-taupe in the swatch. Fine lighter and darker threads catch the light gently, preventing the neutral shade from appearing flat. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this exact fabric, so suitability should be confirmed against the intended application.

How to use it

Use 17 Bark on a tailored armchair, sofa or dining seat where its muted taupe-grey tone can soften darker timber and complement warm stone, parchment and natural wood. Keep the surrounding palette tonal to let the fine woven texture provide the visual interest.

Use this softly weathered taupe-grey weave to bring subtle texture and depth to upholstered seating.

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.
