About this fabric

The Polar colourway reads as an icy blend of chalky cream, light grey and a faint warm-beige undertone, rather than a bright white. Subtle slub-like lines create a restrained crosshatch effect while keeping the surface visually plain. At 300 gsm and 144 cm usable width, it is a versatile mid-weight choice for both upholstery and drapery. With a 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat, it can be cut and matched without a repeating motif.

How to use it

Use this pale cool greige on occasional upholstery or full-length curtains where its quiet weave can soften stronger colours, pale woods and brushed metal. Its low-contrast surface also works well as a calm neutral layer in a light, tonal scheme.

A pale, quietly textured neutral that brings a cool chalky softness to upholstery, curtains and layered interiors.

Pairs well with

Martello Polar 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.
