About this fabric

The surface is an even sunshine yellow rather than a patterned weave, with delicate mottling that keeps the colour from appearing completely flat. Its fine texture catches the light gently, creating slight shifts between brighter golden areas and softer yellow shading. The fabric is catalogued as a textile suitable for considering across upholstery and drapery applications, although no composition, width or rub-test data has been supplied. No performance features are noted for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Alpha Sunshine where a room needs a warm, optimistic lift: it can brighten a plain upholstered chair or add a clean yellow accent to relaxed curtains. Pair it with chalky neutrals, natural timber or muted greens to balance its sunny intensity.

Use the warm sunshine yellow to bring clear, cheerful colour to upholstery or softly tailored window treatments.

Alpha Sunshine 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.
