About this fabric

Woven in 64% cotton and 36% polyester, Venice Pollen is specified for severe contract upholstery and drapes, with a robust 40,000 rub test and a substantial 528 gsm weight. The 136 cm width and 1 cm horizontal repeat suit this neat vertical stripe pattern, which reads as a soft golden yellow with lighter threads that lift the surface. The colour feels warm and sunlit rather than bright, so the stripe stays refined instead of high-contrast. Its India origin and tightly ordered weave give it a clean, controlled look that feels smart in use.

How to use it

Use this pollen-yellow stripe to bring warmth to structured seating, Roman blinds, or lined curtains where the narrow repeat can stay crisp. It pairs well with painted timber, pale oak, and muted neutrals that let the golden tone stay soft and inviting.

A fresh, versatile stripe that works well on tailored seating or relaxed curtains.

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