About this fabric

The warm ivory background keeps this colourway lighter and softer than a stark black-and-white contrast, while the dark brown motif adds substantial visual depth. Its large, irregular forms overlap and turn in on themselves, producing a dense rhythmic pattern rather than a conventional repeat. The image shows an even-looking textile surface beneath the graphic design, with no obvious pile or pronounced open weave visible at this scale. No composition, width or performance features have been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Mayhem Dalmatian to energise a neutral room where its warm ivory ground can connect with timber, parchment and natural stone. The dark brown linework would also make a confident statement on a feature chair, bench or full-length curtain.

Use the warm ivory ground and dark brown graphic linework to bring confident contrast to contemporary upholstery or relaxed drapery.

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.
