About this fabric

The colour sits between mustard and honey, giving the cloth a muted warmth without becoming brightly saturated. Its fine, even weave creates a restrained texture, with tiny shifts in the ochre surface visible across the swatch. With no pattern competing for attention, Start Ochre reads as a calm, softly dimensional fabric for drapery.

How to use it

Use Start Ochre for full-length curtains or relaxed Roman blinds where its sun-warmed gold can complement natural timber, cream upholstery and earthy neutrals. Keep surrounding patterns quiet to let the subtle weave provide the texture.

Its warm ochre-gold tone brings a softly sunlit, understated finish to curtains and blinds.

Pairs well with

Start Ochre 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.
