About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Giselle Ivory has the relaxed handle and natural texture visible in the cloth, with a broad repeat of approximately V 67cm / H 69cm and a width of about 138cm. The large-scale floral pattern reads in gentle garden tones rather than bright contrast, with leafy greens, pale stems and ivory blossoms sitting over a warm cream base. That softened ground keeps the design elegant and easy to live with, while the linen texture adds a subtle woven grain across the surface. It is a refined fabric choice for decorative upholstery or drapery where a traditional floral needs a lighter touch. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use it on an upholstered armchair, occasional sofa or tailored curtains where the soft ivory ground can brighten a room. It works especially well with painted wood, aged brass and other muted greens.

A fresh ivory floral that lifts classic rooms without feeling stark.

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