About this fabric

Sandstorm Dalmatian is shown as a closely textured, peppered weave, with tiny black and charcoal marks dispersed through a pale grey-white ground. The irregular flecks form subtly horizontal, broken lines, creating a softly grainy rhythm rather than a formal repeated motif. In this colourway, the restrained contrast reads cool and urban, while the light ground keeps the overall effect bright rather than heavy. No composition, width or rub-test specification is supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this cool grey-and-white colourway on an upholstered armchair, sofa or headboard where its fine flecking can add depth without introducing a strong decorative pattern. Pair it with charcoal, chalk white and pale timber for a crisp tonal scheme.

Its cool, near-monochrome texture suits contemporary upholstery where subtle surface variation is preferred.

Sandstorm Dalmatian 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.
