Genoa Yellow reads as a quiet, buttery silk with a fine vertical striation and a gentle sheen. The colour feels warm and pale rather than bright, giving the plain surface a soft glow.

About this fabric

This Genoa colourway is woven in 100% silk and comes approximately 138cm wide, with a very restrained repeat of V 0cm / H 0.5cm approx. The cloth shows a delicate ribbed texture that catches the light across the surface, while the yellow sits in a pale, softened register with a creamy undertone. It feels refined and slightly luminous rather than saturated, which suits the natural movement and sheen of silk. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Its gentle yellow tone works well for tailored curtains, where the fine vertical texture can be seen in full daylight. Pair it with chalky whites, pale woods or muted golds to keep the room light and elegant.

Use for elegant curtains or light upholstery accents where a warm, quiet glow is wanted.

Pairs well with

Genoa Yellow 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.
