About this fabric

The pattern is formed from fine cream lines that link across the ink-blue ground, creating a rhythmic trellis-like effect with a clearly visible woven texture. Its deep blue tone reads cool and saturated, while the cream details lift the surface without making it feel high-contrast or stark. At 252gsm, with 38 threads per centimetre, it has a versatile mid-weight handle suited to both upholstery and drapery. The 137cm usable width is paired with a 19.8cm vertical repeat and 17.2cm horizontal repeat for planning pattern placement.

How to use it

Use Kalpa Ink on an occasional chair, bench seat or full-length curtains where its cool blue depth can anchor a room. Repeat the cream motif through pale painted wood, stone or warm ivory upholstery for a balanced, graphic scheme.

A deep ink-blue ground and fine cream geometry give this woven design a crisp, quietly graphic character for upholstery or drapery.

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