About this fabric

Woven at 332gsm, this mid-weight Clarke & Clarke fabric is substantial enough for upholstery while remaining suitable for drapery. The citron reads as softened yellow with an olive cast in the woven areas, set against chalky natural and cool charcoal-grey checks. The intersecting blocks create a clear graphic rhythm, while the visible plain weave gives each colour a lightly mottled depth rather than a flat finish. The pattern repeats every 19.5cm vertically and 17.5cm horizontally, with a 135cm usable width.

How to use it

Use the muted citron as a gentle lift on a chair, bench or cushion, pairing it with warm natural linens and charcoal-painted wood. As curtains, its pale yellow and grey balance brings pattern without making the room feel strongly saturated.

A relaxed citron, natural and charcoal-grey check for upholstery, curtains and coordinated soft furnishings.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Austin Check Citron/Natural 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.
