About this fabric

This colourway has a dry, nubby weave in a warm taupe-brown tone, with darker threads tracing subtle horizontal and vertical intersections across the surface. The close-up shows varied thread density and gentle tonal shifts, preventing the neutral ground from appearing flat or uniform. Its substantial-looking woven construction makes it best suited to upholstery. No performance features are noted in the supplied record, so no additional performance claim is made here.

How to use it

Use 11 Macaroon to bring warmth and quiet texture to an upholstered armchair, sofa or headboard. Its biscuit-taupe base pairs naturally with walnut, aged timber, soft creams and charcoal accents.

A warm, tactile neutral with an irregular crosshatched weave for relaxed upholstery schemes.

11 Macaroon 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.
