Stroma Ivory reads as a soft, luminous ivory with a barely-there natural linen texture. In the image, it falls in gentle folds that feel light and airy rather than crisp or structured.

About this fabric

This colourway has a warm, pale ivory tone with subtle cream depth, and the fine vertical slub of the linen is visible across the surface. The fabric is composed of 98% linen and 2% polyester, giving it a natural hand with a little added stability. With an approximate width of 300cm, it is especially well suited to wide curtains and flowing window treatments. The plain surface keeps the focus on the softness of the weave and the relaxed drape shown in the photo, while the care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code Z are part of the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this shade where you want a quiet, layered backdrop: it works well with pale timber, chalky paint colours and softly upholstered seating. The warm ivory tone is especially effective in rooms that need light without looking stark.

A soft ivory linen look that feels airy and understated on relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with

Stroma Ivory 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.
