About this fabric

This colourway reads as a warm, airy ivory rather than a stark white, with the linen-and-cotton blend giving the cloth a lightly textured, quietly matte finish. The weave shows a fine diagonal slub that adds depth without introducing any pattern, and the surface feels calm and tailored in the image. With a repeat of V 0cm / H 0cm approx, it is a true plain that relies on tone and texture rather than motif. At 142cm wide and composed of 60% Linen and 40% Cotton, it is a versatile furnishing cloth with a natural hand and an elegant, breathable look. The gentle cream undertone makes it especially easy to pair with pale woods, chalky paintwork, and relaxed layered schemes.

How to use it

Use Franklin Ivory to soften a formal room or to bring light to north-facing spaces, where its warm ivory tone will read inviting rather than cool. It works particularly well alongside oatmeal, stone and pale timber finishes for a quiet, refined scheme.

A quietly elegant ivory that works beautifully as a calm neutral across seating and curtains.

Pairs well with

Franklin 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.
