About this fabric

This colourway has a pale cream ground with a subtle warm undertone, and the surface shows the soft slub and linen-like character you would expect from a blend of 58% linen, 29% viscose and 13% wool. It is a wide cloth at approximately 300cm, making it especially practical for full-length curtains and expansive window drops. The repeat is stated as vertical 0cm / horizontal 0cm approx, which confirms the plain, uninterrupted look visible in the image. The finish feels gently diffused rather than stark, so the fabric catches light with a calm, creamy glow instead of a crisp white shine.

How to use it

Use Ambrose Cream for quiet, layered drapery where a warm off-white is needed to soften daylight. It pairs neatly with limewashed woods, pale oak, and sandy neutrals, and will sit comfortably in both classic and contemporary schemes.

A soft warm cream sheer that suits airy curtains and layered window treatments.

Pairs well with

Ambrose Cream 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.
