Melrose Cognac

Dvvtextures Fabric

Melrose Cognac gives the Dvvtextures collection a warm, graphic character, combining rich cognac-brown bands with crisp cream diagonals. The irregular surface within the darker stripes adds depth rather than a flat printed effect.

About this fabric

The diagonal stripe runs consistently across the swatch, with narrow cream lines separating broader cognac-brown and deep brown bands. Its warm, earthy colouring reads as inviting and grounded, while the high contrast keeps the pattern smart and distinctly graphic. Subtle mottling in the darker stripes creates visible variation as the light moves across the surface. The supplied record catalogues this as a Fabric and notes no performance features.

How to use it

Pair Melrose Cognac with warm timber, ivory upholstery and aged brass for a collected scheme, or use it as a confident striped accent against plain cream and tobacco textiles. Its warm brown tone is particularly effective on occasional chairs, cushions or full-length curtains.

Use the warm cognac ground and cream diagonals to bring graphic rhythm to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Melrose Cognac without fighting it. 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.
