About this fabric

The colourway has a quiet natural depth, sitting between warm beige and soft stone rather than reading as a bright cream. Broad ivory bands stand clearly against the ground, with irregular, lightly distressed detailing that keeps the large-scale pattern relaxed. Fine vertical threads remain visible across the background and add subtle tactile interest. The balanced mid-weight appearance makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery.

How to use it

Use Skipper Natural on a relaxed sofa, occasional chair or full-length curtains where its pale beige base can brighten a room without feeling stark. Pair it with chalky whites, light oak and warm stone tones to echo the ivory pattern.

A softly textured natural ground with bold ivory bands for calm, contemporary upholstery or curtains.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Skipper Natural Fabric 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.
