Abelia Ivory has a calm, pale ivory ground with fine, irregular botanical lines worked across its surface. The close-up reveals a softly crinkled texture that gives the light colour subtle depth rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric

This 580 gsm fabric has a dense, tactile appearance, with delicate raised lines creating an understated botanical impression across the ivory face. Its warm off-white tone remains gentle and softly muted, while the uneven surface catches light in fine highlights and shadows. With a useable width of 140 cm, it is well suited to upholstery where this quiet texture can add interest without introducing a strong repeat. Both the vertical and horizontal pattern repeats are 0 cm, so the surface reads as an unrestricted all-over texture.

How to use it

Use Abelia Ivory on a tailored armchair, headboard or sofa where its warm pale tone can brighten the room while the crinkled botanical surface prevents the upholstery from feeling stark. Pair it with natural timber, chalky neutrals and softly aged metals for a calm, refined scheme.

A softly textured ivory upholstery fabric that brings quiet depth to tailored seating.

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