Highlander Parchment

Highlander Parchment is a pale, warm cream fabric with the quiet depth of aged parchment. Its close woven surface appears gently flecked rather than patterned, giving the swatch a soft, natural-looking finish.

About this fabric

The colour sits between ivory and light beige, with subtle tonal variation visible across the fine weave rather than a printed motif. At 290gsm, it has the substance of a versatile mid-weight cloth while retaining the calm, understated appearance shown in the swatch. The 140cm usable width makes it practical for upholstery and curtain projects, and the 40m standard length supports larger schemes. With a 0cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat, it can be cut without pattern matching concerns.

How to use it

Use this warm parchment shade to soften upholstered seating, relaxed headboards or full-length curtains, particularly alongside timber, chalky paint colours and other quiet neutrals. Its lightly textured surface adds depth without introducing a strong visual pattern.

A softly textured parchment neutral for upholstery, curtains and understated layered schemes.

Pairs well with

Highlander Parchment 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.
