Oliver Ivory

Hector FabricF4961-01

Oliver Ivory is a quiet, light-reflective linen with a soft ivory cream tone and a barely-there woven texture. Its surface reads clean and calm, with just enough grain to keep the colour from feeling flat.

About this fabric

This colourway in the Hector collection has a warm, chalky ivory appearance that sits between cream and pale linen, giving the cloth a gentle softness rather than a stark white look. The weave is fine and even, with a subtle diagonal movement visible across the surface, and the overall effect is understated and tailored. It is made from 100% linen and comes at approximately 144cm wide, with a small horizontal repeat of about 4cm and no vertical repeat, so the design stays calm and uninterrupted. The Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code make it straightforward to specify for interiors where a natural-looking fabric is wanted.

How to use it

Use Oliver Ivory to soften darker timber, aged brass and stone-toned palettes, where its warm ivory cast will lift the room without looking stark. It is especially effective on relaxed upholstery or simple curtains when you want a quiet, elegant backdrop.

A refined ivory linen that works beautifully across relaxed upholstery and light curtains.

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.
