About this fabric

Part of Ashley Wilde’s Essential Weaves Vol 2 collection, this fabric is composed of 70% polyester and 30% cotton and is specified for drapes only. It has a width of 140cm, a vertical and horizontal pattern repeat of 2cm, and a substantial weight of 337 grams per linear metre (241 grams per square metre). In this colourway, the yellow reads soft and mellow rather than sharp, with a light golden cast that sits comfortably between fresh lemon and warm mustard. The small-scale woven texture catches the light delicately, adding depth across the surface without interrupting the calm, plain-looking appearance.

How to use it

This soft zest tone works beautifully at a window where you want colour without heaviness, especially against chalky white paint, pale oak, or warm stone. It also layers well with natural linens and muted greens for a sunny but grounded scheme.

Use with crisp white or warm neutrals for a fresh, uplifting window treatment.

Pairs well with

Eldon Zest 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.
